The rapid development in container terminal ports in providing efficient and effective services and high port productivity are necessary nowadays. It is happen as current demands from new generation of container vessels are an indicator to the container terminal operators how serious international trade via sea. This work shares scenario of service time at container terminal as a sign of its pe…
At container terminals, containers are transshipped from one mode of transportation to another. Within a terminal different types of material handling equipment are used to transship containers from ships to barges, trucks and trains and vice versa. Over the past decades, ships have strongly increased in size, up to 8000 TEU (Twenty feet equivalent unit container). In order to use these big shi…
Optimisation of container loading and unloading operations at maritime terminals has increasingly become more important to terminal operators. This paper presents the optimisation algorithm (OA) for solving the hybrid flowshop scheduling problem for container terminal loading and unloading operations. The OA which composed of seven heuristics and genetic algorithm (GA) is used to estimate the m…
