The Quay Crane Scheduling Problem

The recent growth in worldwide container terminals’ traffic resulted in a crucial need for optimization models to manage the seaside operations and resources. Along with the recent increase in ship size and the container volume, the advancements in the field of Quay Crane Scheduling introduced the need for new modeling approaches. This is the motivation behind the current paper, which focuses on developing a novel yet simple formulation to address the Quay Crane Scheduling Problem (QCSP). The objective of the problem is to determine the sequence of discharge operations of a vessel that a set number of quay cranes will perform so that the completion time of the operations is minimized. The major contribution is attributed to the way that minimization is performed, which is by minimizing the differences between the container loads stacked over a number of bays and by maintaining a balanced load across the bays. Furthermore, important considerations are taken into account, such as the bidirectional movement of cranes and the ability to travel between bays even before completion of all container tasks. These realistic assumptions usually increase model complexity; however, in the current work this is offset by the novel simple objective. This paper presents a mixed-integer programming (MIP) formulation for the problem, which has been validated through multiple test runs with different parameters. Results demonstrate that the problem is solved extremely efficiently, especially for small problem sizes.     

Hybrid Estimation of Distribution Algorithm for the Quay Crane Scheduling Problem

The competitiveness of a container terminal is highly conditioned by the time that container vessels spend on it. The proper scheduling of the quay cranes can reduce this time and allows a container terminal to be more attractive to shipping companies. The goal of the Quay Crane Scheduling Problem (QCSP) is to minimize the handling time of the available quay cranes when performing the tasks of loading and unloading containers onto/from a container vessel. This paper proposes a hybrid Estimation of Distribution Algorithm with local search to solve the QCSP. This approach includes a priori knowledge about the problem in the initialization step to reach promising regions of the search space as well as a novel restarting strategy with the aim of avoiding the premature convergence of the search. Furthermore, an approximate evaluation scheme is applied in order to reduce the computational burden. Moreover, its performance is statistically compared with the best optimization method from the literature. Numerical testing results demonstrate the high robustness and efficiency of the developed technique. Additionally, some relevant components of the scheme are individually analyzed to check their effectiveness.     

An Integrated Quay Crane Assignment and Scheduling Problem

As maritime container transport is developing rapidly, the need arises for efficient operations at container terminals. One of the most important determinants of container handling efficiency is the productivity of quay cranes, which are responsible for unloading and loading operations for container vessels. For this reason, the Quay Crane Assignment Problem (QCAP) and the Quay Crane Scheduling Problem (QCSP) have received increasing attention in the literature and the present paper deals with the integration of these interrelated problems. A formulation is developed for the Quay Crane Assignment and Scheduling Problem (QCASP), which accounts for crane positioning conditions and a Genetic Algorithm (GA) is developed to solve the QCASP. Both the model formulation and the solution methodology are presented in detail and computational analysis is conducted in order to evaluate the performance of the proposed GA. The results obtained from the GA are compared with the results from an exact technique, thus providing complete information about the performance of the heuristic in terms of solution quality.
