Abstract
This talk deals with the combination of two decision problems, which occur consecutively while planning the charge and discharge operations of container ships in container terminals. The Berth Allocation Problem (BAP) considers the allocation of ships to berths in the course of time. The Crane Assignment Problem (CAP) addresses the assignment of quay cranes to ships. We provide a heuristic approach for the integrated solution of these problems and present computational results based on real world data.
