This paper introduces an approach for generating scenarios of sea port container terminals. A scenario consists of arrivals of deep sea vessels, feeder ships, trains, and trucks together with lists of containers to be loaded and unloaded. Moreover, container attributes such as size, empty,...

This paper discusses the scheduling of reefer mechanics at container terminals. Reefer mechanics plug and unplug reefer containers such that due times are met. We outline the resulting scheduling problem and two simple heuristics. Subsequently, we present a simulation model to analyze the...

This contribution presents a simulation model that generates arrivals of ships over time at a container terminal. The model includes a quay of limited capacity, a decision module for assigning berths to ships, and a queue for ships for which currently no berth is available. Such models are...

This paper focuses on Single machine scheduling subject to inventory constraints. Jobs add and remove items to and from, respectively, the inventory. Jobs that remove items cannot be processed if the required number of items is not available. We consider scheduling problems on a Single machine...
