Review on the Berth Allocation and Quay Cranes Assignment Problems in Container Terminal

Article Preview

Abstract:

In recent decade, containers become an important part of the world's economy. With the growth in offshore trade, problems about container and port are attention by research scholars in many countries. In the study on the problem in container ports, Berth Allocation and Quay Crane Scheduling problem are very important; optimization of the two problems can improve the efficient of container ports. In this paper, we describe and classify the main Berth Allocation Processes and Quay Crane Scheduling and present a survey of methods for their single optimization and integrate optimization.
