| Abstract: | In this work, a joint planning problem for berth and yard allocation in transshipment terminals is addressed. Multi-cluster stacking strategy is proposed to split each transshipment flow into a number of container clusters and then stack each cluster in different yard blocks. A mixed integer quadratic programming model is formulated to minimize the total distance of exchanging containers between mother vessels and feeders, and the workload imbalance among yard blocks. A novel three-stage heuristic solution approach is developed and extensive numerical experiments are conducted to show the effectiveness of the proposed approach and the benefit of the multi-cluster strategy. |
