Abstract: Abstract This study investigates a quay crane scheduling problem with considering the impact of tides in a port and fuel consumption of ships. A mixed-integer nonlinear programming model is proposed. Some nonlinear parts in the model are linearized by approximation approaches. For solving the proposed model in large-scale problem instances, both a local branching based solution method and a particle swarm optimization based solution method are developed. Numerical experiments with some real-world like cases are conducted to validate the effectiveness of the proposed model and the efficiency of the proposed solution methods.
