The continuous Berth Allocation Problem in a container terminal with multiple quays

We have conducted an extensive computational experiment, adapting existing instances to the case of multiple quays. We have also adapted our genetic algorithm to the case of a single quay and tested it on previously reported instances, showing its superior performance compared with existing approaches. Finally, we have developed a random instance generator for the problem with multiple quays, enabling us to conduct a systematic study of the factors affecting the complexity of the problem.
