Inbound and outbound containers are temporarily stored in the storage yard at container
terminals. A combination of container demand increase and storage yard capacity scarcity …

Owing to a rapid growth in world trade and a large increase in the flow of containerized
goods, sea container terminals play a vital role in globe-spanning supply chains. Container …

Almost ever since freight has been transported via rail, shunting yards (also called
classification or marshaling yards) are operated in order to separate freight trains and …

As more and more container terminals open up all over the world, terminal operators are
discovering that they must increase quay crane work rates in order to remain competitive. In …

Annually, millions of containers enter and exit the stacking area of a terminal. If the stacking
operations are not efficient, long ship, train, and truck delays will result. To improve the …

Container terminal (CT) operations are often bottlenecked by slow YC (yard crane)
movements. PM (prime mover) queues in front of the YCs are common. Hence, efficient YC …

Assigning storage locations to incoming or reshuffled containers is a fundamental problem
essential to the operations efficiency of container terminals. The problem is notoriously hard …

In spite of extraordinary support programs initiated by the European Union and other
national authorities, the percentage of overall freight traffic moved by train is in steady …

Container terminals in seaports constitute interfaces between sea and land transport of
goods in global transport chains. These logistics facilities face an increasing demand of …

This paper presents the results of nine independent studies that link a seaport container
terminal's long-run average quay crane rate to various strategic and tactical decisions made …
