Abstract

For the characteristics of outbound containers being transported to the terminal randomly, the operation mode of truck-to-ship (namely the external trucks send the containers directly to ship) for the follow-up arrived containers was suggested. A model was established to optimize the loading sequence with the objective to maximize the amount of truck-to-ship subject to balancing the waiting cost of the external trucks as well as the unloading/loading and relay transport cost of the follow-up arrived containers. For the numerical examination, the model was solved by using heuristic algorithm based on the data collected in Jinzhou port. Results show that the yard cost of the outbound containers can be saved obviously and the terminal efficiency will increase by the truck-to-ship mode for the follow-up arrived containers.
