Simulation-optimization for the management of the transshipment operations at maritime container terminals

作者：

Highlights：

• A robust optimization algorithm generates high-quality schedules for quay cranes.

• Simulation can deal with the uncertainty around the problem.

• Simulation can also include further details that affect the results.

• The joint use of simulation and optimization leads to better solutions.
