This paper surveys recent publications on berth allocation, quay crane assignment, and
quay crane scheduling problems in seaport container terminals. It continues the survey of …

Over the past decades, container transportation has achieved considerable growth, and
maritime trade now constitutes 80% of the global trade. The vessel sizes increased in …

The efficiency of automated container terminals primarily depends on the synchronization of
automated-guided vehicles (AGVs) and automated cranes. Accordingly, we study the …

Container terminals mainly include three types of handling equipment, ie, quay cranes
(QCs), internal trucks (ITs) and yard cranes (YCs). Due to high cost of the handling …

Abstract Container Terminals (CTs) are continuously presented with highly interrelated,
complex, and uncertain planning tasks. The ever-increasing intensity of operations at CTs in …

Nowadays, many industries rely on cranes for efficiently executing storage and retrieval
operations of goods. Areas of application are, for instance, container logistics in seaports …

How to schedule quay cranes (QCs) and shuttle vehicles (SVs) simultaneously or model
them in an integrated scheduling problem is one of the most important problems in …

In the container terminals of seaports, the container handling system consists of a variety of
container handling machines such as quay cranes, internal yard trucks, and yard cranes …

This paper addresses the quay crane scheduling problem (QCSP) with vessel stability
constraints. Vessel stability is essential to improve quay crane operations in container …

This study investigates the scheduling problem of the tandem quay crane (TQC), which is a
new type of loading/unloading device used at container terminals. The TQC can execute …
