Title
Clustering search heuristic for solving a continuous berth allocation problem
Abstract
Due to the increasing demand for ships carrying containers, the Berth Allocation Problem (BAP) can be considered as a major optimization problem in marine terminals. In this context, we propose a heuristic to solve a continuous case of the BAP. This heuristic is based on the application of the Clustering Search (CS) method with the Simulated Annealing (SA) metaheuristic. The results obtained by CS are compared to other methods found in the literature and its competitiveness is verified.
