A dual-port vessel transportation model with outside anchorage, multiple waterways, inside anchorage, and berth assignment considerations

Cogent Engineering
With nearly 90% of global trade moving by sea, the sheer growth of the world’s fleet has overwhelmed existing port capacity and sparked widespread operational delays.

A Self-Adaptive Evolutionary Algorithm for the Berth Scheduling Problem: Towards Efficient Parameter Control

Algorithms, 2018
Since ancient times, maritime transportation has played a very important role for the global trade and economy of many countries. The volumes of all major types of cargo, which are transported by vessels, has substantially increased in recent years ...

ORCHESTRATING DIFFERENCE AND SIMILARITY: Black Fungibility, and the Spatial Redrawing of Racial Categories in Spanish Colonial Morocco, Sahara and Guinea

International Journal of Urban and Regional Research, EarlyView.
Abstract In this article I dissect the spatial strategies through which the Spanish attempted to orchestrate both racial difference and similarity in the African colonies of Morocco, Western Sahara and Equatorial Guinea during the first half of the twentieth century.

A Simulation based model for the berth allocation and quay crane assignment problem

With the global development of container transport, container terminals have become important nodes in transport networks which serve as hubs for the transshipment of containerized goods from ship to ship or from ship to other transport modes.

THE CONTESTED CITY OF VENICE: Caring for Commodified Common Infrastructures in a Touristified Environment

International Journal of Urban and Regional Research, EarlyView.
Abstract In this essay I reveal contested common infrastructures in the interplay between vanishing public infrastructures in Venice and lack of care by governmental actors in a city with a shrinking number of inhabitants. I examine care and commodified public infrastructures in heritage cities facing mass tourism and climate change effects by zooming ...

THE VIOLENCE OF FULL COST RECOVERY: Financing Water Infrastructure, and the History and Future of Perpetual Crisis in Mombasa

International Journal of Urban and Regional Research, EarlyView.
Abstract Foregrounding the role of finance, this article examines the historical production and future trajectory of the urban water crisis in Mombasa. Drawing on archival research and contemporary fieldwork, it traces how principles of full cost recovery—institutionalized during the colonial period and later reworked through postcolonial ...

An adaptive large neighborhood search for the multiport continuous berth allocation problem with speed optimization

, 2022
More than 80% of the cargo is carried by sea, and the global demand is expected to continue increasing in the coming years. This is forcing shipping line carriers and terminal operators to explore new means of optimizing their operations.

Optimal Coordinated Planning Strategy for Space Robots Grasping Targets

, 2017
The task of capturing a space target using a space robot carrying robotic manipulators can be divided into two phases: controlling the robot to reach a desired berth position near the floating target, and manipulating the manipulator to grasp the target.
