Abstract:

It is discussed how to determine the optimal amount of storage space and the optimal number of transfer cranes for import containers. A cost model is developed for the decision making. It includes the space cost, the fixed cost of transfer cranes which corresponds to the investment cost, the variable cost of transfer cranes and outside trucks which is related to the time spent for the transfer of containers. A simple solution procedure for the optimal solution is provided. The solution procedure is illustrated using a numerical example.
