Multi-microgrid (MMG) system is a new method that concurrently incorporates different types
of distributed energy resources, energy storage systems and demand responses to provide …

This paper addresses the short-term berth planning and ship scheduling issues for a busy
seaport with channel restrictions, in which the channel width of the port can accommodate …

Many seaports worldwide are equipped with one-way navigation channel, in which only one
direction is allowed to sail through at a time and vessels thus have to queue up to enter and …

Ship emissions is one of the main components of port pollution. Inefficient waterway
management may not only result in additional waiting time of ships, but also the aggravated …

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 …

Due to the narrowness and depth constraints of restricted channels, traffic conflicts and
vessel delays often occur. These have seriously affected the safety and efficiency of vessel …

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 …

Due to the development of ship sizes and the traffic increase in port, ships having long
turnaround time in port often result in port congestion, which seriously affects the efficiency …

The scheduling of barge transportation in narrow channels is critical to transportation
efficiency, especially when the tide exists and affects the channel navigation of barges …
