    In this technical report we present several Mixed Integer Linear Programming (MILP) models for the Berth Allocation and Quay Crane Assignment Problem (BACASP) considering crane movement and setup time (from now on: BACASP-S). First, we propose a MILP for the continuous-quay time-invariant BACASP in which both berthing time and position variables are continuous. Then, we … Read more

    Maritime transportation plays a crucial role in the international economy. Port container terminals around the world compete to attract more traffic and are forced to offer better quality of service. This entails reducing operating costs and vessel service times. In doing so, one of the most important problems they face is the Berth Allocation and … Read more
