We consider a container operator, who serves a number of shipping lines by discharging and loading their periodically arriving container vessels. Disruptions on vessels’ travel times lead to stochastic arrivals in the port. To cope with these disturbances, the operator and each vessel line agree on two types of arrivals: arrivals i) within, and ii) out of a so-called arrival window. If a vessel...

• The BAP and the Quay Cranes Assignment Problem is studied. A mixed integer linear programming model developed. An efficient construction heuristics are proposed. metaheuristic approach designed. Experimental results demonstrate effectiveness of proposal. Berth Allocation two decisive seaside operations planning problems in maritime terminals. Therefore, integrating these critical improving an...

In this paper we look at the longer term impact of double cycling on port operations including crane, vessel, and berth productivity. Double cycling is a technique by which empty crane moves are converted into productive ones. We use a double cycling sequence that is operationally convenient, easy to model, and nearly optimum. We compare the performance of this sequence to those determined by a...

The good performance of the port activities in terminals is mainly conditioned by dynamic response moored ship system at a berth. An adequate definition highly multivariate processes involved berth crucial for an appropriate characterization operability. availability efficient forecast movements ships essential planning, performance, and safety development operations. In this paper, inference m...

A container terminal is a facility where cargo containers are transshipped between different transport vehicles. We focus our attention on the transshipment between vessels and land vehicles, in which case the terminal is described as a maritime container terminal. In these container terminals, many combinatorial related problems appear and the solution of one of the problems may affect to the ...

Due to the dramatic increase in the world’s container traffic, the efficient management of operations in seaport container terminals has become a crucial issue. In this work, we focus on the integrated planning of the following problems faced at container terminals: berth allocation, quay crane assignment (number), and quay crane assignment (specific). First, we formulate a new binary integer l...

In this work, we focus on the integrated planning of the following problems faced within the context of seaside operations at container terminals: berth allocation, quay crane assignment, and quay crane scheduling. First, we formulate a new binary integer linear program for the integrated solution of the berth allocation and quay crane assignment problems called BACAP. Then we extend it by inco...

Over the last years, international sea freight container transportation has grown dramatically and container terminals play nowadays a key role within the global shipping network. Terminal’s operations have received increasing interest in the scientific literature and operations research techniques are more and more used to improve efficiency and productivity. In this work we provide an overvie...

Due to the recent increase in Arctic shipping, 2006-2020 June October Cloud-Aerosol Lidar with Orthogonal Polarization (CALIOP), Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) Collection 6.1 (C6.1), and Multi-Angle Implementation of Atmospheric Correction (MAIAC) retrieved aerosol optical depth (AOD) data were examined for changes AOD from period 1 (P1, 2006-2012) 2 (P2, 2014-2020 (P2). ...
