“…Caserta et al (2010) combine metaheuristics and dynamic programming to improve upon the known results of Kim and Hong (2006). The problem most of these optimization approaches have, is that they assume perfect prior knowledge on the order in which the containers will be picked up.…”

Container stacking rules are an important factor in container terminal efficiency. In this paper, we investigate two concepts to increase efficiency and compare them to several benchmark algorithms, using a discrete-event simulation tool. The first concept is to use knowledge about container departure times, in order to limit the number of reshuffles. We stack containers leaving shortly before each other on top of each other. The second concept is the trade-off between stacking further away in the terminal versus stacking close to the exit points and accepting more reshuffles. It is concluded that even the use of imperfect or imprecise departure time information leads to significant improvements in efficiency. Minimizing the difference in departure times proved to be important. It was also found that the trade-off between stacking further away in the terminal versus stacking close by the exit points and accepting more reshuffles leads to improvements over the benchmark.

“…Rehandling operations for outbound containers mainly arise because of their weight (Kim et al, 2000;Kang et al, 2006;Kim and Hong, 2006;Imai et al, 2006;Caserta et al, 2011;Zhang et al, 2010). Rehandling operations for inbound containers come from the randomness of the container retrieval sequence by over-the-road trucks or trains (Kim, 1997;Lee and Lee, 2010;Zhao and Goodchild, 2010;Sauri and Martin, 2011).…”

This paper introduces some of the developments related to the handling equipment in container terminals and various new conceptual handling systems that have been proposed during the last several decades. The basic ideas behind the previous equipment improvements are analyzed to identify future directions that can be used for devising new handling systems. The handling systems in the container terminals include a quayside handling system, transport system, and yard system. In response to the deployment of mega-sized vessels for container transportation systems, productivity improvement has become one of the most urgent issues in the container terminals. This paper analyzes the previous improvements made for achieving higher productivity in the three subsystems of container handling. Some conceptual handling systems are introduced including the linear motor conveyance system (LMCS), automated storage and retrieval systems (AR/RS), overhead grid rail (GRAIL), SPEEDPORT, SuperDock, the automated container system by ZPMC (ACS-ZPMC), and AUTOCON.
