Abstract The three main operational areas of a container terminal, namely the waterside, yard and landside area, are briefly sketched in order to enable a basic understanding of the processes relevant for the analysis in subsequent chapters. Main planning problems, which occur in the three operational areas, are introduced and described, respectively. Coming from a general view on the entire terminal operations, a closer look is taken at the yard block level being the operational area relevant for the research statement of the work. Here, basic terminology is defined and different yard block layouts, the corresponding yard crane systems and the implications for handling operations and yard crane movement are described. Within this overview, the focus is put on automation leading to a brief statement and comparison of variants of automated stacking cranes with single and multiple cranes per block. As the work is motivated from the informational context of arrival and retrieval times of containers, the properties of time information about containers at the waterside and landside are identified and possible systems of vehicle arrival management for estimating the time information are conveyed. Following from this, the problem environment of the research study is formulated.
