A method for allocating and/or operating quay cranes at a container carrier terminal. The method includes scheduling a container carrier associated with static carrier information to perform a container carrier berth at the container carrier terminal and further supplying a container carrier entry associated with the container carrier berth to a container carrier terminal system associated with the container carrier terminal. The method further includes generating an estimated container-related berth workload associated with the container carrier berth based on the static carrier information, and allocating the quay cranes to crane time windows which lie within an expected duration of the container carrier berth, wherein the allocating quay cranes is performed in the container carrier terminal system prior to the container carrier berth and is based on the estimated container-related berth workload. The quay cranes are then operated to perform transfer of containers associated with the container carrier during the crane time window.
