Abstract

In Automated Container Terminal, the remarshaling is the task of rearranging containers for the effective exporting operations. Since available time for the remarshaling is usually restricted, all containers cannot be remarshaled. Therefore, this paper proposes a method that selects some containers from all export containers and then establishes the remarshaling plan with only the selected containers. The experimental results using simulation system shows that our proposal planning method that plans after selecting remarshaling containers is better than plans with all loading containers and remarshals during the available time.
