Operational Issues in Modern Container Terminals

Kap Hwan Kim

Open publisher page 1 citations

Abstract

Because container vessels spend a significant amount of transportation time in ports, it is essential to improve the productivity of various handling activities at port container terminals. Further, in order to modernize container terminals, automated container handling facilities have been recently developed and installed. This trend has introduced various new handling facilities and opened up new research topics for the efficient operation of these terminals. This chapter discusses the related decision-making problems that need to be explored by researchers.
