The integrated berth allocation and quay crane assignment problem is an important issue for
the operations management in container terminals. This issue primarily considers the …

The limited availability of berths and channels is generally the bottleneck restricting the
capacity of a seaport and thus resulting in traffic congestion. Optimizing the operations of the …

Container ports play an important role in global logistics and supply chains by providing
container handling services for container ships. In a port, container ships usually need the …

This paper considers vessel scheduling with pilotage and tugging constraints in berthing
operations with channel restrictions at seaports. To our knowledge, pilotage and tugging …

This study addresses an interesting tugboat scheduling problem considering uncertainty in
both container ship arrival and tugging process times for large container ports. The uncertain …

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 …

Berth allocation and pilotage planning are the two most important decisions made by a
seaport for serving incoming vessels. Traditionally, the berth allocation problem and the …

Restricted channels differ from ordinary channels because of their external environmental
factors; they have many restrictions on vessel scheduling. In particular, for ports with …

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

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