As the interface between waterside and landside transport chains, the container yard plays a vital role for the performance and competitiveness of container terminals as a whole. Most terminals of relevant size nowadays deploy gantry cranes for container stacking operations, which are therefore key elements of modern terminal planning. The creation of an efficient terminal design therefore requires a profound understanding of the capabilities and performance of gantry cranes, which is in turn largely determined by the rules and strategies defining the way these machines are deployed in operation. Against this background, the present work firstly reviews academic works on container stacking and yard crane scheduling, then critically discusses their practical relevance, and finally explains the strategical implications of these strategies for terminal planning.
