Abstract: | One of the most important issues that planners and developers of ports have to address at the planning process of container
terminals is how to effectively optimize truck turnaround times. The time that a truck spends at a container terminal for
loading and/or unloading of cargo is a real cost scenario which affects not only the smooth operation of ports but also the
overall cost of the container trade. The main objective of this article is to provide a decision support tool for selecting
the best container yard gantry crane for loading/discharging operation of trucks at the landside of marine container terminals.
Achieving this goal, this study aims at introducing and recommending the multiple attribute decision-making and the fuzzy
analytical hierarchy process models that have been proven to provide a concrete basis for such a selection decision. |
