Strategies for optimal (re)placements of containers at a container terminal

This thesis is about strategies to minimize the number of moves stacking cranes need to make to stack and retrieve containers of a container terminal. Several heuristics are compared to each other in different steps. First containers are just removed, then they are both placed and removed while all containers arrive before the first container leaves the container terminal and finally the containers arrive at- and leave the container terminal at the same time.
