This paper surveys recent publications on berth allocation, quay crane assignment, and
quay crane scheduling problems in seaport container terminals. It continues the survey of …

Over the past decades, container transportation has achieved considerable growth, and
maritime trade now constitutes 80% of the global trade. The vessel sizes increased in …

The efficiency of automated container terminals primarily depends on the synchronization of
automated-guided vehicles (AGVs) and automated cranes. Accordingly, we study the …

This paper proposes an integrated scheduling optimization model based on mixed integer
programming to analytically characterize the U-shaped automated container terminal layout …

Container terminals mainly include three types of handling equipment, ie, quay cranes
(QCs), internal trucks (ITs) and yard cranes (YCs). Due to high cost of the handling …

Seaside operations are considered the bottleneck operation in most container terminals
around the world. This paper presents an in-depth updated overview of the seaside …

Nowadays, many industries rely on cranes for efficiently executing storage and retrieval
operations of goods. Areas of application are, for instance, container logistics in seaports …

The construction project schedule is one of the most important tools for project managers in
the Architecture, Engineering, and Construction (AEC) industry that makes them able to track …

To lower vessel turn time, it is crucial that the operations of quay cranes, yard trucks, and
yard cranes are well coordinated. Most studies have sought to optimize each of these …

In multi-crane systems, interference between cranes frequently occurs, and a significant
amount of energy is wasted to avoid these interferences. Energy-efficient multi-crane …
