This paper focuses on storage location assignment and exported container relocation in container yard of container terminal with the objective of minimizing the number of container lifting. On the lifting steps, the truck with yard crane should be chosen in order to deliver a container from container yard to container ship, and this action can reduce container ship's docking time and increase effectiveness in container terminal service. In this paper, a genetic algorithm (GA) in container storage assignment and a heuristic for the container relocation determination are adopted. Also, the current practice including first-in-first-stored (FIFS) and simple relocation (SR) is used to compare the effectiveness of the GA and the proposed heuristic (RH). The experimental result presented that the proposed method is able to construct the effective solutions of storage location assignment of exported containers, and it reduces the number of relocations of exported container effectively.
