Berth-Quay Crane AIIocation Based on the Ships' Service Priority
To solve the berth-quay crane allocation problem, formulates the mode with ships' service priority which aims to improve the service quality of container terminal and customers' satisfaction. And adopts the genetic algorithm with the heuristic algorithm for quay crane allo-cation for solving the problem, including the quay crane allocation and the corresponding vessel schedule in each berth . The results show that the algorithm is feasible and the turnaround time of vessels at port is less. In this connection, the efficiency of terminal operation is improved.
