Container terminal competition and cooperation considering emission tax

Maritime Policy & Management, 2021
This paper studies the competition and cooperation problem in a regional port system with two container terminals. Two game models are proposed to analyze the decisions of container terminal operators and the local government, respectively.

SIMULATION OF CONTAINER TERMINAL OPERATION

IFAC Proceedings Volumes, 1979
Abstract Simulation of container terminal operation oriented on computer-aided design of the terminal is presented. The system of programs realizing this simulation works on the basis of simulation games, during which extremal conditions of work and existance of narrows are monitored. It is build in a modular way, series-parallel connected.

Expansion Planning at Container Terminals

2020
Container terminals are highly complex systems where various processes need to interoperate smoothly in order to offer the required level of service at competitive prices. Hence, with changing logistics network structures, higher expected service standards, and increasing transportation demands, container terminals continuously need modification.

Constraint programming models for integrated container terminal operations

European Journal of Operational Research, 2020
Although operations in container terminals are highly interdependent, they are traditionally optimized by decomposing the overall problem into a sequence of smaller sub-problems, each focusing on a single operation.

Management of Container Delivery in the Container Terminal

2020
Container delivery operations in the terminal generally refer to the import full containers, which are the main targets container delivery operations in the container terminal. For the import full containers, the container delivery operations are the second stage of the whole import operation processes, and the first stage is the vessel unloading ...

Simulation study on terminal layout in automated container terminals from efficiency, economic and environment perspectives

Ocean and Coastal Management, 2021
Terminal layout design is an important strategic decision to obtain efficient automated container terminals. Recently, several types of layout design are being implemented to realize side-loading operations, such as U-type and parallel layout design for ...

Interblock Crane Deployment in Container Terminals

Transportation Science, 2002
We consider the problem of scheduling the movements of cranes in a container storage yard so as to minimize the total unfinished workload at the end of each time period. The problem is formulated as a mixed-integer linear program, and the computational complexity ofthe problem is analyzed. A Lagrangian decomposition solution procedure is described.
