Resumen
As maritime transportation develops, the pressure of port traffic increases. To improve the management of ports and the efficiency of their operations, vessel scheduling must be optimized. The vessel scheduling problem can be divided into channel scheduling and berth allocation. We considered the complex problem of vessel scheduling in a restricted channel and the berth allocation problem, and a combined model that considers carbon emissions was developed. This model should reduce vessel waiting times, improve the quality of the berth loading and unloading service, meet the requirements of ?green? shipping, and improve the overall scheduling efficiency and safety of ports. An adaptive, double-population, multi-objective genetic algorithm NSGA-II-DP is proposed to calculate the mathematical model. In the case study, the rationality verification and sensitivity analysis of the model and algorithm are conducted, and the NSGA-II-DP and NSGA-II were compared. Results demonstrate that the overall convergence of the NSGA-II-DP algorithm is better than that of NSGA-II, demonstrating that the NSGA-II-DP algorithm is a useful development of NSGA-II. In terms of port scheduling, the results of our model and algorithm, compared with the decisions provided by the traditional First Come First Service (FCFS) strategy, are more in line with the requirements for efficiency and cost in the actual port management, and more dominant in the port management can provide better decision support for the decision-makers.
