A container port must be planned to satisfy prompt accommodation of ships with minimum waiting time in port, and with maximum use of berth facilities. Somewhere between these opposing objectives each container port must reach a compromise, the number of berths which will achieve the most economical transfer of cargo between ships and shore. Computational experiments were conducted to evaluate t...

Many container terminals all over the world strive to be mega-hub port through improving efficiency of terminal operation with high technology. Not only operating equipments in container terminal, but also container terminal gates are introducing state-of-the-art technologies in order to develop an effective gate system. This study focuses on an automation of identification task at gate. We dev...

Container terminals play an important role in global cargo transportation and they have become an essential intermodal interface between the sea and the land. In the container terminal, the service area is often arranged into rectangular blocks, which leads to a mesh-like path topology. We present a mathematical model for general container routing in mesh yard layouts. Based on this model, a si...

This paper addresses scheduling problems on the material handling operation at marine container-yard terminals. The layout, removal order and removal distination of containers are simultaneously optimized in order to reduce the waiting time for a vessel. The schedule of container-movements is derived by autonomous learning method based on a new learning model considering container-groups and co...

Container terminals offer transfer facilities to move containers from vessels to trucks, trains and barges and vice versa. Within the terminal the container yard serves as a temporary buffer where incoming containers are piled up in stacks. Only the topmost container of each stack can be accessed. If another container has to be retrieved, containers stored above it must be relocated first. Cont...

we consider the problem of continuous dynamic berth allocation to containerships in a tidal seaport. in some container ports, low water depth in coastal area causes many restrictions on providing vessel's services. therefore, berth allocation planning for relatively large vessels with high draft is subject to tidal conditions when the vessels are in the access channel as from anchorage are...

Abstract—Currently container terminals are busy to handle high volume of container shipping movement. Conventional operational procedures have difficulties in handling containers movement, thereby slowing clearances and even resulting in some administrative issues in terminal operation. This paper presents an development of Information and Communication Technology (ICT) in a container terminal...

due to the considerable growth in the worldwide container transportation, optimization of container terminal operations is becoming highly needed to rationalize the use of logistics resources. for this reason, we focus our study on the quay crane scheduling problem (qcsp), which is a core task of managing maritime container terminals. from this planning problem arise two decisions to be made: t...
