Abstract

We consider the ship planning problem at maritime container terminals where containers are loaded onto and discharged from ships using quay cranes. The container transport between the ships and the yard positions in the terminal is carried out by a fleet of straddle carriers. Based on a stowage plan provided by the shipping company, the dispatcher assigns containers to specified bay positions. Then, subject to operational and stability constraints, he schedules containers in order to avoid waiting times at the quay cranes. We propose an approach combining stowage planning and the selection of “good” loading and transport sequences. For a just-in-time scheduling model, we present computational results based on real-world data of a German container terminal. Moreover, we discuss some real-time and online influences on the daily dispatch situation.
