Abstract Port Integration through the merger of PT Pelabuhan Indonesia I, II, III, and IV in 2021 sets one its goals to ensure sustainable port development (sustainable effort). One main services is Container Terminal service which includes 63 Ports / Terminals constitutes 95% total traffic Indonesian Containers, from number Containers handled 8th largest world, a strategic position that needs ...

This paper models the sea port system with the objective of determining the optimal storage strategy and container-handling schedule. It presents an iterative search algorithm that integrates a container transfer model with a container location model in a cyclic fashion to determine both optimal locations and corresponding handling schedule. A genetic algorithm, a tabu search and a tabu search/...

In this paper we present a discrete event simulation model to approach the decision problems arising from an expansion plan of a marine container terminal. In particular the preliminary study herein presented starts from a collaboration with the Southern European Container Hub (SECH) sited in the Port of Genoa, Italy. The planned expansion will take place from 2010, the terminal area will enlar...

The tremendous increase of containerized trade over the last several years, the resulting congestion in container terminals worldwide, the remarkable increase in containership size and capacity, the increased operating cost of container vessels and the adoption by liner shipping companies of yield management techniques strain the relationships between ocean carriers and container terminal opera...

In this paper, the skew control of the load (container) in the quay crane used in the dockside of a container terminal is investigated. The mathematical model of the 3-dimensional (3D) motions of the load is first derived. The container hooked to a spreader is suspended by four ropes in air. When the container is accelerated by the trolley or is disturbed by winds, it will make a rotational mot...

In this paper an average number of re-handlings analysis is proposed to solve the problem of finding bays configuration in small container terminal in Gliwice, Poland. Rehandlings in this terminal can be performed only by reachstackers. The goal of the heuristic is to plan the reachstacter moves in the terminal, assuming that the target containers are reached and the number of re-handings is mi...

This paper considers the effectiveness of a truck appointment system in improving the yard efficiency of the container terminal. This research uses truck appointment information to improve the import container retrieval operation and reduce container rehandles by adopting an advanced container location assignment algorithm. By reducing the container rehandles, the terminal could improve yard cr...

Owing that the internal trucks (ITs) are frequently used as transportation equipments between yards and quaysides, the transportation efficiency of ITs secures a crucial position in container terminal productivity. Hence, a container terminal cannot contain a big number of ITs. As such, it is an imperative to explore an appropriate IT assignment strategy. Specifically for those container termin...

This paper proposes a new scheduling method for a marshaling in the container yard terminal. The proposed method is derived based on Q-Learning algorithm considering the desired position of containers that are to be loaded into a ship. In the method, 3 processes can be optimized simultaneously: rearrangement order of containers, layout of containers assuring explicit transfer of container to th...
