Title: OPTIMIZING THE USE OF A CONTAINERSHIP BERTH
Accession Number: 00399872
Record Type: Component
Availability: Find a library where document is available Abstract: Total system costs, including those of berths, cranes, storage yards, dock labor, ships, containers, and cargo, are minimized for single-berth containership terminals under various assumptions. The analytic model accounts for queueing delays to ships, mutual interference among cranes, minimum work shifts, and storage yard requirements. Results indicate that total system costs per ship or per ton of cargo can be significantly decreased by increasing the number of cranes per berth and berth use above current levels. The results are especially sensitive to labor costs and work rules.
