In 2022, a new sea lock at IJmuiden is expected to open, permitting an increase in marine traffic of larger ships from the port. interest facilitating operations, we evaluate impact current first-come, first-served (FCFS) admittance policy context berth allocation for wet bulk terminal Four model types are constructed: optimal FCFS; no FCFS with fixed arrival times; 48-h time relaxation; and co...

Over the past two decades, maritime transportation and container traffic worldwide has experienced rapid and continuous growth. With the increase in maritime transportation volume, the issue of greenhouse gas (GHG) emission has become one of the new concerns for port managers. Port managers and government agencies for sustainable development of maritime transportation considered "green ports" t...

Container terminals (CTs) play an essential role in the global transportation system. To deal with growing container shipments, a CT needs to better solve the three essential seaside operational problems; berth allocation problem (BAP), quay crane assignment problem (QCAP), and quay crane scheduling problem (QCSP), which affect the performance of a CT considerably. In past studies, the three se...

Inclement weather conditions affect the behavior of travelers and transportation system operations. Understanding this influence can help improve operational planning schemes for any mode transport, especially buses. One factors that be affected by rainfall is time expended a passenger from moment bus opens its doors until he/she boards bus. This known as boarding lost (BLT); it was first intro...

Abstract Marine container terminals play a significant role for international trade networks and global market. To cope with the rapid steady growth of seaborne market, marine terminal operators must address operational challenges appropriate analytical methods to meet needs The berth allocation scheduling problem is one important decisions faced by during operations planning. optimization sche...

Ports are key factors in international trade, and new port terminals quite costly time consuming to build. Therefore, it is necessary optimize existing infrastructure achieve sustainability logistics. This problem more complex multi-client terminals, where quay shared among terminal operators who often have conflicting interests. Moreover, the berth allocation liquid bulk implies demanding rest...
