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 …

Abstract Container Terminals (CTs) are continuously presented with highly interrelated,
complex, and uncertain planning tasks. The ever-increasing intensity of operations at CTs in …

Although a large amount of intelligent handling equipment has been widely used in
automated container terminals, few studies have explored the coordination optimization …

To improve the operating efficiency of container terminals, we investigate a closed-loop
scheduling method in an autonomous inter-terminal system that employs unmanned …

This paper considers vessel scheduling with pilotage and tugging constraints in berthing
operations with channel restrictions at seaports. To our knowledge, pilotage and tugging …

In order to enhance the efficiency of port operations, the scheduling problem of the quay
cranes and yard trucks is crucial. Conventional port operation mode lacks optimization …

Container terminals are moving towards using renewable energy sources to manage their
operations and cope with the traditional ones impacting the environment. However …

Vessel scheduling in seaports correlates with achieving better resource utilization and
higher customer satisfaction. It has received limited attention when considered under …

How to schedule quay cranes (QCs) and shuttle vehicles (SVs) simultaneously or model
them in an integrated scheduling problem is one of the most important problems in …

This paper considers the integration of three essential seaport terminal operations: the berth
allocation problem, the quay crane assignment problem (QCAP), and the quay crane …
