Abstract

The storage block allocation, the yard truck and yard crane scheduling are three separate sub-problems in container terminals, playing an important role in the efficiency of port discharging operations. This paper proposes an integer programming model considering these three problems as a whole. The objective is to minimize the time when all the unloading operations have been completed and all containers have been stacked at storage block. A Local Sequence-Cut (LSC) method is developed to solve the problem.
