Abstract IBM ILOG CP Optimizer is a generic CP-based system to model and solve
scheduling problems. It provides an algebraic language with simple mathematical concepts …

Benders decomposition uses a strategy of``learning from one's mistakes.''The aim of this
paper is to extend this strategy to a much larger class of problems. The key is to generalize …

This paper studies an operational-level berth allocation and quay crane assignment
problem (daily berth planning) considering tides and channel flow control constraints. An …

Many seaports worldwide are equipped with one-way navigation channel, in which only one
direction is allowed to sail through at a time and vessels thus have to queue up to enter and …

This paper presents an integer programming model for integrated continuous berth
allocation, quay crane assignment and quay crane scheduling problem (BACASP) in …

We consider integrated planning problem of export dry bulk terminals. This problem consists
of three important operations:(i) berth allocation,(ii) reclaimer scheduling, and (iii) stockyard …

This book is the first comprehensive guide to logic-based Benders decomposition (LBBD), a
general and versatile method for breaking large, complex optimization problems into …

Liquefied natural gas (LNG) bunkering stations are areas for bunkering LNG-powered ships
via a flexible hose from either a shoreside facility, shore-based/pontoon tank, or an LNG …

Navigation channels are fairways for vessels to travel in and out of the terminal basin of a
container port. The capacity of a navigation channel is restricted by the number of traffic …

This paper deals with the problem of allocating berth positions for vessels in export bulk port
terminals considering tidal constraints and was first formulated by Ernst et al.,(2017). This …
