This paper investigates the dynamic ship berth allocation problem for a container handling
port, focusing on vessel waiting time at the anchorage due to the unavailability of the berth …

This paper addresses the quay crane scheduling problem (QCSP) with vessel stability
constraints. Vessel stability is essential to improve quay crane operations in container …

This study investigates the scheduling problem of the tandem quay crane (TQC), which is a
new type of loading/unloading device used at container terminals. The TQC can execute …

Due to both the rapid growth of world and the expansion of the flow of container shipment, a
maritime container terminal plays a vital role in global coverage of supply chain. In this …

Quay crane scheduling is a key aspect of container terminal operation, which can be
regarded as a decision-making process with uncertainty. Each task involves stochastic …

The literature has recognized that the consumers' purchase behaviour and retailers' policies
are significantly influenced by reference price effects, but has yet to provide flexible …

Heterogeneous quay cranes (HQCs) are the main energy-consuming equipment of
automated container terminals, and they need to move from one bay to another along the …

The scheduling of quay cranes (QCs) to minimize the handling time of a berthed vessel is
one of the most important operations in container terminals as it impacts the terminal's …

Nowadays, there is much attention for planning of container terminals in the global trade
centers. The high cost of quay cranes motivates both scholars and industrial practitioners …
