Abstract: This paper treats a berth allocation problem (BAP) in dedicated container terminals where feeder ships and container vessels are jointly served. When assigning quay space and a service time to each calling ship particular focus is put on the container exchange between feeder ships and mother vessels, so that the weighted number of containers delivered by feeder missing their intended mother vessel (and vice versa) does not exceed a given upper bound. The resulting BAP is formalized, complexity proofs are provided, and suited optimization procedures are presented and tested.
