In this paper, we review recent contributions dealing with the rehandling of containers at maritime container terminals. The problems studied in the paper refer to a post-stacking situation, i.e. problems arising after the stacking area has already been arranged. In order to increase efficiency of loading/unloading operations, once updated information about the state of the containers as well as of the vessels becomes available, it is possible to reshuffle the container yard, or a portion of it, in such a way that future loading operations are carried out with maximal efficiency. The increase in efficiency of loading/unloading operations has a bearing on the berthing time of the vessels, which, in turn, is a widely accepted indicator of port efficiency. Three types of post-stacking problems have been identified, namely (i) the remarshalling problem, (ii) the premarshalling problem, and (iii) the relocation problem. With respect to each of these problems, a thorough explanation of the problem itself, its relevance and its connections with other container handling issues are offered. In addition, algorithmic approaches to tackle such problems are summarized. © Springer Science+Business Media, LLC 2011.
