Abstract:This research addresses the problem of optimizing simultaneously the container vessels berthing schedule and quay cranes assignment for each berthed container vessel. A mixed integer linear programming (MILP) mathematical model is developed to achieve the lowest total flow time of the group of anchored vessels waiting for service, considering port resources usage constraints. The research extended to study the efficiency of the use of port resources such as berth length, number of available quay cranes in the … Show more
