Abstract: Abstract Containerized shipping is exhibiting increasing trends, which makes container terminal planning decisions a critical success factor to a container terminal. The efficient handling of containers has a significant and direct impact on the performance of the terminal exhibited in berthing time of vessels. In this paper we present a simple labeling and ordering heuristic to solve the container pre-marshalling problem. Preliminary results illustrate the good performance of the proposed heuristic.
