AbstractIn a land-scarce container terminal, congestions in the terminal yard due to highly concentrated workload often lead to unsatisfactory terminal productivity. Currently, yard planners use their experience to design a yard template for determining the storage locations of export containers to be loaded onto vessels deployed to services with a cyclical calling pattern. This article studies the problem of designing a yard template that balances the workload in an export yard. The template design problem is formulated as an integer program. It is found that the computational time required to optimally solve realistic sizes of the template design problem is unacceptably long. This article proposes a simpler integer program as an approximate model. On the basis of the analysis on the approximate model, a heuristic is developed to solve the template design problem. Results of computational experiments show that the heuristic can find effective solutions for the template design problem © 2010 Taylor & Francis.
