In this work, we focus on the integrated planning of the following problems faced within the context of seaside operations at container terminals: berth allocation, quay crane assignment, and quay crane scheduling. First, we formulate a new binary integer linear program for the integrated solution of the berth allocation and quay crane assignment problems called BACAP. Then we extend it by inco...

The article presents a description of the technical condition Grain Elevator building situated on port quay, which after many years operation has been decommissioned. immediate reason for cessation was change in use profile caused handling other goods at quay than bulk materials originally stored Elewator Zbożowy. work contains detailed analysis building, also taking into account functional and...

Walls overgrown with plants can have a positive impact on urban comfort and contribute to biodiversity in the city. In particular, quay walls, thanks their close contact water, potential be ecologically engineered encourage growth of herbaceous plants. Different factors affect vegetation walls. This research aims at experimentally investigating effect several variables, including wall design, b...

Keywords: Container terminal Maritime shipping Block length Yard crane deployment Simulation Terminal design Gross crane rate As more and more container terminals open up all over the world, terminal operators are discovering that they must increase quay crane work rates in order to remain competitive. In this paper we present a simulation study that shows how a terminal's long-run average quay...

With advancements of quay side equipments and technologies, the bottleneck of port operations has moved from quay side to yard side. The yard management of a port has significant influences on the competitiveness of a port in the global shipping network. The research area of yard management has attracted a lot of attentions from both the academia and the industrial practitioners. This paper giv...

In this paper we integrate at the tactical level two decision problems arising in container terminals: the berth allocation problem, which consists of assigning and scheduling incoming ships to berthing positions, and the quay crane assignment problem, which assigns to incoming ships a certain QC profile (i.e. number of quay cranes per working shift). We present two formulations: a mixed intege...
