This research aims to improve energy sustainability in transportation management. The case was derived from port-to-port coal problem commonly faced by third-party logistic (3PL) company. During planning, they must determine which shipsets be used and assign them the loading/unloading berths. Each berth varies terms of its speed each shipset capacity, sail speed, fuel consumption rate. selectio...

in this paper, we introduce a satisfaction function (sf) to compare interval values on the basis oftseng and klein’s idea. the sf estimates the degree to which arithmetic comparisons between two intervalvalues are satisfied. then, we define two other functions called lower and upper sf based on the sf. weapply these functions in order to present a new interpretation of inequality constraints wi...

The continuous berth allocation and quay crane assignment problem considers the size of berths ships, number cranes, dynamic ships non-crossing constraints cranes. In this work, a mixed-integer linear programming model is established, aiming at minimizing total stay time delay penalty ships. To solve model, separated into discrete segments via proposed discretization strategy. Thereafter, large...

Since the vessels are getting larger and the efficiency of container terminals is more required, highly automated container terminals are being developed and operated. The ECT in Netherlands and the CTA in Germany fully automated container terminal (ACT) – have improved productivity through automated yard and transportation areas. But after building these terminals, Automated Shuttle Carriers (...

Over the years, the demand for maritime transportation has rapidly increased [1], [2]. This usually leads to an increasing in competition among different ports in providing efficient services. Port managers face significant challenges in efficiently utilizing the given resources to provide a cost-effective service [1]. Among many optimization and decision making problems in the port management ...
