Abstract In this work, the potentials of data-driven optimization for well-known berth allocation problem are studied. The aim robust scheduling is to derive conflict-free vessel assignments at quay a terminal, taking into account uncertainty regarding actual arrival times which may result from external influences as, e.g., cross wind and sea current. order achieve robustness, four different Ma...

Decision makers must face the dynamism and uncertainty of real-world environments when they need to solve the scheduling problems. Different incidences or breakdowns, for example, initial data could change or some resources could become unavailable, may eventually cause the infeasibility of the obtained schedule. To overcome this issue, a robust model and a proactive approach are presented for ...

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...

Inspired by a series of papers initiated in 2015 Berth\'e et al., we introduce new condition called suffix-connectedness. We show that the groups generated return sets uniformly recurrent suffix-connected language lie single conjugacy class subgroups free group. Moreover, rank this only depends on number connected components extension graph empty word. also how to explicitly compute representat...

This paper analyses how digital technologies implementation in the maritime transport sector companies can help achieving Blue Economy goals. Previous research offering a comprehensive overview of within context is scarce. To fill this gap, economic effects are investigated, and positive impacts on analyzed, all Economy. The authors have concluded that by implementing sector, goals related to (...

Maritime container terminals (MCTs) play a fundamental role in international maritime trade, handling inbound, outbound, and transshipped containers. The increasing number of ships containers creates several challenges to MCTs, such as congestion, long waiting times before dock, delayed departures, high service costs. berth allocation problem (BAP) concerns allocating berthing positions arrivin...
