Abstract

Port charges in Japan have been consistently higher than those in other major hubs over several years. Part of the increased costs is the result of overcapitalization to the port for the relatively small cargo volume. For terminal efficiency, we have already investigated the dynamic berth allocation in a multi-user terminal, where the handling time of a ship is assumed to depend on its quay location and container stock location. However, the time is given in the berth allocation model without considering sophisticated operational aspects in the terminal. In this study, we construct models that estimate the ship handling time.
