文摘

The seemingly unlimited growth of containerized transport is nowadays associated with an increasing number of seaport container terminals and facilities as well as demand for port-centric value-added and just-in-time logistics services. Intense global and local competition as well as geographical limitations urgently require efficient means to handle inter-terminal transportation. Many factors influence the productivity and efficiency of inter-terminal transportation as well as its economic and environmental implications. In the last two decades, these aspects have led to a growing interest in research, in particular concerning decision analytics and innovative information technology aiming to better understand, improve, and operate inter-terminal transportation. In this paper, we present a chronological overview of related works as an annotated bibliography in order to reflect the current state of research. Furthermore, we identify future research issues and propose a respective research agenda.
