The implementation of port state control (PSC) has been challenging in Taiwan due to the lack officers (PSCOs), and foreign ships berthing at ports that cannot be effectively inspected. PSCOs are subordinate public service system restrained by number personnel Executive Yuan. Compared with similar professions, their salaries significantly different from those industry, making recruiting retaini...

We consider a variant of the berth allocation problem—that is, multiport problem—aimed at assigning berthing times and positions to vessels in container terminals. This involves optimizing vessel travel speeds between multiple ports, thereby exploiting potentials collaboration carriers (shipping lines) terminal operators. Using graph representation problem, we reformulate an existing mixed-inte...

This paper sheds light on the effect of combination modes evaluation berthing capacity for Sanya Yazhou Fishing Port (SYFP) under hypothetical typhoon conditions. By statistically analysing maximum probability moving speeds and directions historical typhoons passing through fishing port, representative path was determined with nonparametric regression method. The designed wind fields levels 12–...

At each port of destination, some containers are unloaded from a vessel and stored in the terminal to be delivered to their customers. One of the strategies used to arrange the containers in a terminal is residence time strategy: based on their delivery deadlines, each incoming container being assigned to a priority class. The aim of this study is to determine a valid arrangement of incoming co...
