Exact and heuristic methods for the berth allocation problem with multiple continuous quays in tidal bulk terminals

作者：

Highlights：

• We consider berth allocation problem in tidal bulk port with multiple continuous quays.

• To model and solve the problem we propose a mixed integer linear programming model.

• A metaheuristic approach for dynamic and continuous BAP is also designed.

• Experiments are conducted to verify the effectiveness of the algorithms and model.
