The punctuality of ship sailing schedule is always paid more attention by the liner hipping company. When ship could not arrive to or depart from a certain port as the timetable, the carrier has to execute some countermeasures to adjust ship schedule in order to absorb the existed delay as soon as possible. This study focuses on the dedicated container terminal with a single berth location for a carrier to formulate a mixed integer programming model for exploring how to reallocate the berthing time windows in delay situation. This model minimizes the total delay of impacted ships under the requirements of schedule control policies of the liner company. We analyze the situations of delay happen on one or two ships. The results show that the objective values increase with delay hours of the single ship. Meanwhile, the ocean going routes are indeed assigned to berth with higher priority as same as the concept of the practice. In the analysis of simultaneous delay for two ships, we can realize the impact between the ocean going and the short sea routes. This model cannot only provide the shipping company to estimate total delay at terminal but also assist her to plan the countermeasures for delay ships. |
