Extended Integrated laycan and berth allocation model with ship stability and conveyor routing constraints in bulk ports
Description
This Excel file contains the data and optimized results from two case studies presented in the article "Extended Integrated Laycan and Berth Allocation Model with Ship Stability and Conveyor Routing Constraints in Bulk Ports." The first case study is based on computational experiments, while the second utilizes a dataset provided by the Jorf Lasfar port team. Included in the file are detailed Gantt charts, which outline the berthing and loading schedules for each vessel. These schedules consider multiple operational constraints, such as: Maintenance operations (both on berths and conveyor systems), High tide requirements for vessel movements, Nighttime loading restrictions for certain cargoes, Multiple non-working calendars specific to vessel types and operations, Vessel stability constraints during bulk loading, Limitations on the number of vessels simultaneously crossing the channel... The file also highlights key insights into the solutions obtained, with a focus on minimizing vessel dwell times and optimizing the use of port resources, ensuring efficient port management under these complex constraints.
