Abstract: Abstract Because container vessels spend a large portion of transportation time in ports, it is essential to improve the productivity of various handling activities in port container terminals. Also, because port construction requires a large amount of investment, it is important to efficiently utilize the internal resources of container terminals. This chapter introduces various operations in container terminals and decision-making problems that require support by scientific methods. Models and methods in previous researches are reviewed and classified according to their characteristics.
