Abstract
Storage space allocation problem at container terminals is NP-hard combinatorial optimization problem. This paper proposes a new approach based on genetic algorithm to optimize the solution for storage space allocation problem in container terminal at seaports. A new mathematical model is formulated to avoid bottlenecks in container yard operations, and to minimize vessels service time in port. Also, a simulation model using discrete event simulation tool is conducted to optimize the solution for storage space allocation problem is presented in this study. The proposed approach is applied on a real case study data of container terminal at Damietta port. The computational results show the effectiveness of the proposed approach.
