Container terminals serve as crucial hubs in the global supply chain, facilitating the efficient transfer of goods between different modes of transportation. This study explores optimization strategies for container terminal operations, focusing on the comparison between hierarchical and integrated solution approaches. A comprehensive literature review provides insights into the challenges and advancements in container terminal management. The comparative analysis highlights the advantages of integrated optimization models, particularly through the lens of the Tactical Berth Allocation Problem (TBAP). By incorporating real-world data and advanced computational methods, the study offers nuanced insights into efficiency and time estimation aspects.
