Abstract: Abstract This study reviews various planning and control activities in container terminals. Decision-making problems for operation planning and control are defined and new trends in the technological development for each decision-making process are discussed. Relevant research directions and open questions are proposed. The functions of the Terminal Operating System (TOS), which is the software used to implement the decision-making processes, are discussed and commercial TOSs are introduced and compared.
