Abstract
This article investigates a low carbon-oriented berth allocation and quay crane assignment problem considering vessels’ uncertain arrival time and loading/unloading workload for vessels. A two-stage stochastic programming model is formulated based on a set of scenarios. The first stage designs a baseline schedule and the second stage adjusts the schedule in each scenario. A solution method is developed by using column generation techniques. Numerical experiments are conducted to validate the efficiency of our column generation-based solution method and the effectiveness of the proposed decision model. Some sensitivity analysis is also performed to draw some managerial implications.
