Global containership liners design their transportation service as hub-and-spoke networks to
improve the access to local transportation markets and to reduce operational costs by using …

We show how the overall productivity of an RTG-based seaport container terminal depends
on the system used for automatically selecting storage locations for export containers in real …

In this paper, we design, analyze, and evaluate a novel automated container terminal (ACT),
namely, the rail-shuttle-based ACT. To analyze the performance, one detailed simulation …

The escalating global demand for containerized cargo has intensified pressure on container
terminals, which serve as vital nodes in maritime logistics. This study aims to enhance …
