Container terminals can be divided into five main areas, namely
the berth, quay, transport, storage yard, and (terminal) gate, as illustrated
in Fig. 1. The berth and the quay areas are considered seaside,
while the storage yard and gate areas are considered
landside. The transport area is at the intersection of the seaside
and landside areas. This paper describes the latest trends, developments,
on storage yard operations in container terminals and classifies
relevant literature.
