Abstract
Zusammenfassung:The storage yard is the operational and geographical centre of most seaport container terminals. Therefore, it is of particular importance for the whole terminal system and plays a major role forᅠtrade and transport flows. One of the latest trends in container-storage operations is the automated Rail-Mounted-Gantry-Crane system, which offers dense stacking, andᅠoffers low labour costs.ᅠThis bookᅠinvestigates in how far the operational performance of container terminals is influenced by the design of these storage systems and to what extent the performance is affected by the terminal's framework conditions, andᅠ discusses the strategies applied for container stacking and crane scheduling.ᅠA detailed simulation model isᅠpresentedᅠto compare the performance effects of alternative storage designs, innovative planning strategies, and other influencing factors. Theᅠresultsᅠhaveᅠuseful implications forᅠfuture research as well asᅠpractical terminal planning and optimisation
