Robust Metaheuristics under Uncertainty for Berth Allocation and Quay Crane Assignment: A Review

Abstract

arXiv:2608.19214v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: The berth allocation and quay crane assignment problem (BACAP) is a representative port-terminal scheduling problem in maritime transportation and freight logistics, where vessel arrivals, berth positions, service durations, and quay?crane availability are tightly coupled. Under uncertainties such as arrival deviations, handling-time fluctuations, and resource disruptions, schedules optimized under nominal assumptions may become fragile during exec
