In the stockyard of dry bulk materials such as coal and iron ore, multiple stacker-reclaimers
operate collaboratively to enhance stockyard productivity. However, effectively planning the …

Stockyard allocation is a crucial segment of operational decision-making in dry bulk ports
(DBPs). The stockyard allocation plan determines the storage position and duration of each …

Heavy navigation demands of incoming/outgoing ships and operational features in dry bulk
export terminals (DBETs) call for effective and intelligent optimization methods to improve …

For ensuring the orderly operation of the port, it is vital to coordinately schedule available
ship loaders and vessels that plan to enter and exit the port when ship loaders are unable to …

In maritime operations, ballast water operations and cargo handling operations are carried
out simultaneously to determine the operational efficiency of vessels in port. However, the …
