The operational modes of ships reflect the status of ship engines and thus greatly impact the
rate of emissions. To capture the characteristics of ship emissions, this study proposes an …

This study proposes an autonomous truck (AT) based scheduling problem for container
transshipment between two seaport terminals, in which ATs can travel in platoons with short …

In this paper, we study a barge and tugboat joint scheduling problem arising from a river–
sea intermodal transport system, where non-self-propelled barges travel with the help of …

Cooperation between vessel service providers can improve the performance of ports.
However, the potential impact of such cooperation has not yet been quantitatively addressed …

Seaports are important connections between inland and maritime transportation. Tugboats,
which can provide enough horsepower and mitigate safety risks when leaving and entering …

Container ports serve as crucial logistics hubs in global supply chains, but navigating ships
within such ports is complex due to restricted waterways. Tugboats play a critical role in …

Tugboat assistance is essential when large ships are berthing and unberthing, and requires
ports to produce efficient tugboat schedules considering various constraints. Few studies …

Vessel scheduling in seaports correlates with achieving better resource utilization and
higher customer satisfaction. It has received limited attention when considered under …

Traffic management in port waters is a complicated task considering vessels with various
characteristics and the specific layout of waterways. Optimal management is needed to …

With the growing emphasis on green shipping to reduce the environmental impact of
maritime transportation, optimizing fuel consumption with maintaining high service quality …
