Abstract

In this work, we develop a model of fully fuzzy linear programming (FFLP) for the continuous and dynamic Berth Allocation and Quay Crane Assignment (BAP+QCAP). We assume that the arrival time of vessels is imprecise, meaning that vessels can be late or early up to a threshold allowed. Triangular fuzzy numbers represent the imprecision of the arrivals. The model proposed has been implemented in MIP solver and evaluated to a study case composed of 10 vessels. The model allows us to obtain a fuzzy berthing plan assigning likewise an adequate number of cranes to each vessel. The plan is adaptable to incidences that may occur in the vessel arrivals.
