Purpose: To determine resource rational allocation in the management of technique that specializes intra-terminal moving, to develop dispatching method for container flow. Methods: The work applies materials from open sources. Systematic approach is applied designing system terminal technique. Results: Method flow at has been developed, features combining conversion processes on basis prioritiz...

Container terminals are facing a set of interrelated problems. Container handling problems at container terminals are NP –hard problems. The docking time of container ships at the port must be optimized. In this paper we have built a simulation model that integrates all the activities of a container terminal. The proposed approach is applied on a real case study data of container terminal at El...

Yard crane is an important resource in container terminals. Efficient utilization of the yard crane significantly improves the productivity and the profitability of the container terminal. This paper presents a mixed integer programming model for the yard crane scheduling problem with non- interference constraint that is NPHARD in nature. In other words, one of the most important constraints in...

this study analyses the concept of cost functions for semi-automated straddle carrier (sc), rubber tyred gantry (rtg) and automated rail mounted gantry (rmg) container yard operating cranes. it develops a generic cost based model for a pair-wise comparison, analysis and evaluation of economic efficiency and effectiveness of container yard equipment to be used for decision-making by terminal pla...

Continuously increasing global container trade and pressure from a limited number of large shipping companies are enforcing the need for efficient container terminals. By using internal material handling resources efficiently, transfer times and operating costs are reduced. We focus our study on container terminals using straddle carriers for transportation and storage operations. We assume tha...

Owing that the internal trucks (ITs) are frequently used as transportation equipments between yards and quaysides, the transportation efficiency of ITs secures a crucial position in container terminal productivity. Hence, a container terminal cannot contain a big number of ITs. As such, it is an imperative to explore an appropriate IT assignment strategy. Specifically for those container termin...
