Yard planning is essential for efficient operations in container terminals, especially for ports with limited storage space. To improve the utilisation of space and the efficiency of container handling in a terminal, operators require flexible yard space planning strategies to manage job workloads and yard-to-berth transportation costs. In previous studies, the inter-related decision making pro…
This paper studies a storage yard management problem in a transshipment hub where the loading and unloading activities are both heavy and concentrated. In order to reduce the number of reshuffles, which helps to reduce the vessel turnaround time, the port operator uses the consignment strategy to group export and transshipment containers according to their destination vessel. To reduce the pote…
Many container terminals in the world adopt the consolidated yard planning strategy, where containers to be loaded into the same vessel are stacked in groups. This has been a good strategy because when a vessel is loading, yard cranes will be stationed at these locations, and the trucks shuttle between the quay cranes and the yard cranes almost in a conveyor belt fashion. These locations are op…
This book contains six chapters that can be used on a self-contained basis as teaching cases in an undergraduate or specialist class setting on OR techniques applied to maritime container operations or for port operations. Instructors and students can look forward to an insightful presentation of the challenges facing the maritime supply chains and container port logistics service providers in …
The purpose of this study is to introduce a new innovative means of container stacking/ storage as a potential solution for overcoming the lack of container yard space.
This paper presents the results of nine independent studies that link a seaport container terminal’s long-run average quay crane rate to various strategic and tactical decisions made by the terminal operating company. New numerical results on yard capacity, fleet composition, truck substitutability, and terminal scalability issues are obtained using a fully-integrated, discrete event simulati…
In line with the global trend to be greener and more environment friendly the port meet a certain level of contradiction. The fossil fuel is used in a lot of quantity especially in container terminal that is by Rubber Tired Gantry equipment, meanwhile the greenest energy electrical power is available nearby. Finding the high consuming fossil fuel and the availability of electric power is quite…
This paper studies the storage yard management problem in a busy transshipment hub, where intense loading and unloading activities have to be considered at the same time. The need to handle huge volumes of container traffic and the scarcity of land in the container port area pose serious challeng for the port operator to provide efficient services. A consignment strategy with a static yard temp…
In this work we describe some decisional problems arising in the management of maritime container ports, together with optimisation models and algorithms suitably designed for their solution. We refer to the Gioia Tauro container terminal which recently has reached a high stage of growth, becoming one of the most important transhipment ports in the Mediterranean Sea. In particular, we focus on …
The yard truck scheduling and the storage allocation are two important decision problems affecting the efficiency of container terminal operations. This paper proposes a novel approach that integrates these two problems into a whole. The objective is to minimize the weighted sum of total delay of requests and the total travel time of yard trucks. Due to the intractability of the proposed proble…
Because of an increase in population, the demand for coal has drastically risen with millions of tons of coal being imported annually through Indian ports. To accommodate with this rise in demand, there has been an increase in the concern over proper ship scheduling and effective stockyard management. This article focuses on these aspects, as well as train scheduling, in the context of coal imp…
In a terminal container the yard management is a critical and dynamic component that requires governance and flexibility to adapt to and address even the most complex issues arising out of yard planning and operations. With particular reference to the assignment and deployment of Rubber Tired Gantry Cranes among yard blocks, an optimisation model is proposed. Its purpose is to determine the blo…
Korean small and medium sized (SMS) shipyards are facing difficulties getting new orders in the conditions of the marine recession, and many SMS shipyards have gone bankrupt. In general, SMS shipyards have fairly low credit ratings, so it is hard for them to get a Refund Guarantee (RG), which is a necessary document for contracts from commercial banks or the Export Credit Agency (ECA). I analyz…
Container stacking and reshuffling are important issues in the management of operations in a container terminal. Minimizing the number of reshuffles can increase productivity of the yard cranes and the efficiency of the terminal. In this research, the authors improve the existing static reshuffling model, develop five effective heuristics, and analyze the performance of these algorithms. A disc…
Different terminals, with their unique combinations of liner services, yard layouts and equipment configurations, may find that different yard planning strategies work better for their scenarios. While an optimum yard plan can be found for each yard planning strategy, it is interesting to know which strategy gives the best plan. In designing an IT-based search engine to discover the best yard p…
This paper studies two tactical level decision problems arising in transshipment hubs: berth template planning that is concerned with allocating berths and quay cranes to arriving vessels, and yard template planning that is concerned with assigning yard storage locations to vessels. These two tactical level decisions interact with each other. A mixed-integer programming model is proposed to int…
Economic growth in a region indicated by increasing the growth of population and Gross Domestic Product (GDP). These two factors are used in determining variable takes into account forecasting container throughput in Palembang, South Sumatra. Container Terminal which is the parallel activities of the Berth and the Yard needs adequate capacity as benchmark capability in the meet of demand in the…
Port of Indonesia Kendaraan Terminal (IKT) is vehicle handling terminal which is located in Jakarta, Indonesia. It has become the sole car terminal in Indonesia since 2008, thus it plays an important role of car distribution throughout Indonesia as well as International countries. However, nowadays it faces problem regarding capacity particularly storage yard. This is indicated by the Yard Occ…
Currently, many port in Indonesia condition are'nt good for handling cargo and there are many idea area, some of the issues make these condition are that is not effective, in adequate equipment, technology and security, so many area can be optimized. In this strict competition both in regional and international scale then development the global trade making port must ready to conduct a transfor…
Within the development  of seaport transportation  system, note that the ability of a port  plays  an  important  role as  a part  of integrated  global  supply  chain.  As  an indivisible  share of a port, container terminal has a potential strategic value in the global liner shipping networks as well as a major aspect of the competitiveness of the The  main  objective Â…
