Two operations are considered for the quay cranes. The first operation is the interaction between the main trolley and the vessel, i.e. the transfer of a
In this paper, a collaborative scheduling model for AQCs and AGVs is established and the capacity limitation of the transfer platform on AQCs is considered in

Using a SC with a gantry crane system for waterside transfer enables the operating cycles of the ASC and QC to be made independent of the horizontal transport.
a quay crane picks-up containers from the vessel and. “feeds” them to straddle carries (SCs) which provide for their transfer from the quay area to the
less rubber-tyre gantry cranes; a fleet of straddle carriers (SCs) or AGV shuttle vehicles (AGVs) used to transfer containers between the quay cranes and
