With the current development of the berth and quay crane in China, minimizing the total time of all ships stopping at the port, and maximizing the utilization rate of quay cranes to reduce the waiting time in the queue at the anchorage are the key to success in the field of container terminals. The objective of this paper is to minimize the total time of all stopped ships at the port and to maximize the operation efficiency of quay cranes. Compared with single berth and quay crane allocation, this paper analyzes the berth-quay crane as a whole, and an integer programming model with some constraints is built for this problem. Then the heuristic algorithm is used in this paper to optimize the problem and gain the solution. This paper provides a guide for practical operation.
