Abstract

Quay cranes are used to discharge cargo from and load onto a vessel. The throughput of a port highly depends on the efficient operations of quay cranes. In Vietnam ports, the cargo ports not only receive containers, but also other kinds of cargo. This study focuses on the scheduling problem of the quay cranes in these ports. The mathematical model is developed, and a meta-heuristic algorithm is used to solve the problems in reasonable computation time. The numerical examples are used to validate the performance of the algorithm.
