This chapter provides an updated survey on rehandling of containers at maritime container
terminals. In particular, we review contributions with a particular focus on post-stacking …

The blocks relocation problem is a classic combinatorial optimisation problem that occurs in
daily operations for facilities that use block stacking systems. In the block stacking method …

In this paper we present an ant colony optimization (ACO) algorithm for the Blocks
Relocation Problem (BRP). The method is applied to both versions of the problem most …

Abstract The Container Relocation Problem (CRP), also called Block Relocation Problem
(BRP), is concerned with finding a sequence of moves of containers that minimizes the …

The container relocation problem or the blocks relocation problem is a classic combinatorial
optimisation problem that occurs in day-to-day operations for facilities that use block …

The container relocation problem (CRP) is concerned with finding a sequence of moves of
containers that minimizes the number of relocations needed to retrieve all containers, while …

The yard block of a container terminal is the central point of synchronisation for
asynchronous container flows between the transport by deep sea vessels and the …

In this paper, we present a method for finding high quality solutions for the Blocks Relocation
Problem with Stowage Plan (BRLP). The interest for this problem comes from the fact that …

Warehouse premarshalling (also pre-marshalling or remarshalling) is the activity of
reordering items in a storage location so that subsequent retrieval orders can be serviced …

The container pre-marshaling problem (PMP) is an important optimization problem that
arises in terminals where containers are stacked in bays before they are collected by …
