Optimization of berth allocation and tugboat scheduling under uncertainty

open access: yes
Port terminals face increasing pressure to optimize resource utilization under unpredictable operational conditions. This thesis addresses the integrated scheduling problem of continuous berth allocation and tugboat assignment, a coordination challenge that remains underexplored in stochastic contexts.

Tugboat scheduling for container ports

Transportation Research, Part E: Logistics and Transportation Review, 2020
Abstract Container ports play an important role in global logistics and supply chains by providing container handling services for container ships. In a port, container ships usually need the assistance of tugboats in order to undergo berthing, shifting, and unberthing movements.

Tugboat scheduling under ship arrival and tugging process time uncertainty

Transportation Research, Part E: Logistics and Transportation Review, 2020
Abstract This study addresses an interesting tugboat scheduling problem considering uncertainty in both container ship arrival and tugging process times for large container ports. The uncertain ship arrival and tugging process times are formulated as a finite set of discrete scenarios that can be generated from historical port traffic data.

Tugboat Scheduling Problem Based on Trust-Based Ant Colony Optimization

Lecture Notes in Computer Science, 2012
Tugboat scheduling is an important decision problem in container terminals. This paper proposes a mathematic model of tugboat scheduling and applies an improved Trust-based Ant Colony Optimization method to get the best scheduling plan. The concept of trust value is considered as heuristic information to affect path selecting and the pheromone ...

Hybrid Evolutionary Strategy Optimization for Port Tugboat Operation Scheduling

2009 Third International Symposium on Intelligent Information Technology Application, 2009
Tugboat operation is an important part of port operation system, and efficient tugboat operation scheduling and planning has a direct and significant impact on which vessels come in or out of the port in time. It exits in the tugboat operation that more than one tugboat simultaneously provide one vessel with the service of tug at the same moment of ...

Scheduling Tugboats in a Seaport

Transportation Science, 2021
In a seaport, vessels need the assistance of tugboats when mooring and unmooring. Tugboats assist a vessel by pushing or towing the vessel’s tug points, and the vessel can moor (or unmoor) successfully only if each of the tug points is operated with sufficient horsepower.
