Sažetak
Models for berth assignments help to solve logistic problems in container terminals and are important decision making tools. This is particularly so where, because of the system complexity and vessels arrival rate, problems cannot be solved empirically. Another issue concerns potential infrastructure and equipment shortcomings, where high utilization of the existing system components is required. In this paper, the authors focus on draft or depth restrictions that may occur alongside a quay. The existing researches in this field are surveyed and the model for berth allocation optimization is upgraded to fulfil draft restrictions. The model is tested in the environment both with and without sea-depth limitation alongside a quay. For validation purposes, random vessels arrivals are generated together with their technical particulars.
