This chapter provides an updated survey on rehandling of containers at maritime container
terminals. In particular, we review contributions with a particular focus on post-stacking …

This paper introduces a novel optimization problem resulting from the combination of two
major existing problems arising at storage yards in container terminals. The Yard Crane …

The purpose of this study is to propose an exact algorithm for the unrestricted block
relocation problem with distinct priorities. In this problem, a storage area is considered …

This article presents new methods for the block relocation problem (BRP). Although much of
the existing work focuses on the restricted BRP, we tackle the unrestricted BRP, which yields …

Abstract The Container Relocation Problem (CRP), also called Block Relocation Problem
(BRP), is concerned with finding a sequence of moves of containers that minimizes the …

In many container terminals, containers are piled vertically and horizontally in the terminal
yard, limited mainly by the dimensions of the yard crane. Import and export containers are …

Container relocation problem (CRP) involves the retrieval of all containers from the
container yard with a minimum number of relocations. The CRP is an NP-hard problem such …

The container relocation problem, also known as the block (s) relocation problem, is one of
the most studied optimization problems in container terminals. The problem aims at …

Container terminals are exchange hubs that interconnect many transportation modes and
facilitate the flow of containers. Among other elements, terminals include a yard which …

Abstract We consider the Block Relocation Problem, that has a crucial role in the logistics of
containers. It consists of minimizing the number of container relocations within a container …
