Simulation-Optimization Models for the Dynamic Berth Allocation Problem [PDF]

Computer-Aided Civil and Infrastructure Engineering, 2013
Container terminals are designed to provide support for the continuous changes in container ships. The most common schemes used for dock management are based on discrete and continuous locations. In view of the steadily growing trend in increasing container ship size, more flexible berth allocation planning is ...

Integrated Laycan and Berth Allocation Problem [PDF]

2019 International Conference on Industrial Engineering and Systems Management (IESM), 2019
Handling vessels within the agreed time limits at a port with an optimal exploitation of its quays plays an important role in the improvement of port effectiveness as it reduces the stay time of vessels and avoids the payment of contractual penalties to shipowners due to the overrun of laytimes.

Modeling and solving the Tactical Berth Allocation Problem [PDF]

Transportation Research Part B: Methodological, 2010
In this paper we integrate at the tactical level two decision problems arising in container terminals: the berth allocation problem, which consists of assigning and scheduling incom- ing ships to berthing positions, and the quay crane assignment problem, which assigns to incoming ships a certain quay crane profile (i.e.

Robust Scheduling for Berth Allocation and Quay Crane Assignment Problem [PDF]

Mathematical Problems in Engineering, 2014
Decision makers must face the dynamism and uncertainty of real‐world environments when they need to solve the scheduling problems. Different incidences or breakdowns, for example, initial data could change or some resources could become unavailable, may eventually cause the infeasibility of the obtained schedule.

Priority control of berth allocation problem in container terminals [PDF]

Annals of Operations Research, 2015
AbstractThis paper presents a decision support system for the core problem of berth allocation decision in a container terminal. The allocation of berths to the calling vessels is complex with the fact that different service level requirements are required for different vessels. Terminal managers demand for effective decision support systems that would

Algorithm Design for an Online Berth Allocation Problem

Journal of Marine Science and Engineering
In this paper, we investigate an online berth allocation problem, where vessels arrive one by one and their information is revealed upon arrival. Our objective is to design online algorithms to minimize the maximum load of all berths (makespan). We first

Enhanced Ant Colony Algorithm for Discrete Dynamic Berth Allocation in a Case Container Terminal

Journal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2023
Berth allocation is a critical concern in container terminal port logistics, involving the precise determination of where and when arriving vessels should dock along a quay.

An Efficient Procedure for Inserting Buffers to Generate Robust Berth Plans in Container Terminals

Discrete Dynamics in Nature and Society, 2021
Uncertainty is an inevitable aspect of seaside operations in container terminals. Operators therefore need to find robust plans that can resist the impact of uncertainties.

Static and Discrete Berth Allocation for Large-Scale Marine-Loading Problem by Using Iterative Variable Grouping Genetic Algorithm

Journal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2022
In this paper, we study the static discrete berth allocation problems (BAPs) for large-scale time-critical marine-loading scenarios. The objective is to allocate the vessels to different types of berths so that all the vessels can be loaded within the ...

Multi-Period Coordinated Optimization on Berth Allocation and Yard Assignment in Container Terminals Based on Truck Route

IEEE Access, 2021
Berths and yards are the most critical parts of container terminals. Their efficiency directly influences the terminal operation efficiency. The multi-period coordinated optimization on berth allocation and yard assignment has been studied considering a ...
