Scheduling problems can be understood in general as the problems of allocating resources
over time to perform a set of tasks being parts of some processes, among which …

The berth allocation is one of the major container port optimization problems. In both port
operator's and ocean carriers' perspective, the minimization of the time a ship at the berth …

The performance of a container terminal is typically evaluated using two main indicators: the
vessel berthing time and the truck turnaround time. These two indicators are significantly …

Container terminals in seaports constitute interfaces between sea and land transport of
goods in global transport chains. These logistics facilities face an increasing demand of …

In this paper we study the simultaneous optimization of berth allocation and quay crane
assignment in seaport container terminals. We propose a model based on an exponential …

The seaport of Gioia Tauro is the largest transshipment terminal of the Mediterranean coast.
A crucial management task for the companies operating in the seaport is team-building: the …

Quay-side berthing congestion is an emerging challenging issue that arises in busy
container transshipment terminals and calls for effective management of terminal operations …

This paper tackles the sea-rail transshipment operation problem of seaport rail terminals,
which includes two key sub-problems involved in sea-rail intermodal container …

The demand for the maritime transportation has significantly increased over the past
20years due to the rapid pace of globalization. Terminal managers confront the challenge in …
