“…Li et al [16] investigated an integrated berth allocation and quay crane assignment with uncertain quay crane maintenance activities and established a stochastic integer linear programming model to minimize the excepted total turnaround time of vessels. Chargui et al [17] proposed a new extension of the berth and quay crane allocation and scheduling problems considering worker performance variability and yard truck deployment constraints. Ji et al [18] solved the Berth Allocation and Quay Crane Assignment Problem (BACAP) with stochastic vessel arrival times using a scenario generation method and an MILP model to minimize the expected total vessel stay time.…”

“…Firstly, Equation ( 16) specifies a minimum and maximum number of quay cranes that can be assigned to each vessel. At the same time, (17) ensures the quay cranes serving a vessel belong to the terminal where the vessel berths. In addition, as shown in ( 18) and ( 19), each quay crane serves at most one vessel at the same time; (20) indicates that the serial number of quay cranes serving one vessel must be consecutive.…”

As container ports become increasingly important to the global supply chain, a growing number of ports are improving their competencies by consolidating multiple terminal resources internally. In addition, in the context of energy conservation and emission reduction, ports measure competitiveness not only in terms of terminal size, throughput and service level, but also in terms of low energy consumption and low pollution. Therefore, a nonlinear mixed-integer programming model considering the cost of carbon is developed for the multi-terminal berth and quay crane joint robust scheduling problem under uncertain environments to minimize the sum of expectation and variance of total cost under all randomly generated samples. The model considers the water depth and interference of quay cranes, etc. The expected vessel arrival time and the average operational efficiency plus relaxation are used as their actual values when scheduling. Finally, an improved adaptive genetic algorithm is developed by combining the simulated annealing mechanism, and numerical experiments are designed. The results show that the joint berth and quay crane scheduling with uncertainties and a multi-terminal coordination mechanism can effectively reduce the operating cost, including carbon costs and the vessel departure delay rate, and can improve resource utilization. Meanwhile, the scheduling with the multi-terminal coordination mechanism can obtain more significant improvement effects than the scheduling with uncertainties.

“…[12] investigated the integration of BAP, quay crane assignment problem, and yard allocation problem. In [13], they also studied an integrated problem that combined BAP with the quay crane allocation and scheduling problems. In practice, it is generally impossible for all the parameters to be fixed and known in advance.…”

Ferry shipping is an indispensable method of public transportation, especially in areas with well-developed river systems or coastal areas. The increasing demand for transport requires additional visits and introduces the problem of ship visit schedule engineering at ferry terminals with stochastic servicing time. In this paper, we propose a ferry visit planning problem to maximize the total profit, in which the berthing time, berthing location, and servicing time for each ferry visit are optimized. Then, a mixed-integer nonlinear programming model is proposed to formulate the focal problem. We propose a tailored solution method to convert the mixed-integer nonlinear programming model to a mixed-integer linear programming model. We further devise an inserting algorithm to test the performance of our model. A comparison between the results of the basic instance yielded by our model and those of the inserting algorithm validates our model and solution method. We then conduct sensitivity analyses of the impacts of different numbers of existing ferry visits and added ferry visits, different expectations of the real time taken by all the ferry visits, and different distribution patterns of existing ferry visits, to further validate the performance of our model.

“…Although conflict-free constraint ( Hu et al, 2022 ) or deadlock detection method ( Wu et al, 2022 ) are considered, conflict and deadlock are still resolved at route level while vehicle maneuver and node-arc map are not captured. The studies on CTs pay more attention on planning level, such as truck dispatching/deployment ( Chargui et al, 2021 ) and truck appointment system for arrival scheduling (will be discussed in later section).…”
