Berth allocation in container terminals that service feeder ships and deep-sea vessels
研究了在专用集装箱码头中同时服务支线船和远洋船的泊位分配问题，重点控制支线船与母船之间的集装箱转运延误，并提出了优化方法。
This paper treats a berth allocation problem (BAP) in dedicated container terminals where feeder ships and container vessels are jointly served. When assigning quay space and a service time to each calling ship particular focus is put on the container exchange between feeder ships and mother vessels, so that the weighted number of containers delivered by feeder missing their intended mother vessel (and vice versa) does not exceed a given upper bound. The resulting BAP is formalized, complexity proofs are provided, and suited optimization procedures are presented and tested.
