A New Classification Schema for Literature Reviews on the Applications of Machine Learning and Optimization Methods in Maritime Terminals: A Focus on the Seaside Area

Maritime terminals play a crucial role in the supply chain networks, transporting containerized cargo from sea to hinterland and vice versa. With the impact of naval gigantism, maritime terminals have experienced a significant increase in daily throughput, resulting in new challenges to enhance operational efficiency. There is a necessity for updated reviews on new methods applied to maritime terminal operations. The idea of this paper is to furnish a new classification schema for organizing literature reviews on machine learning and optimization applied to maritime terminals. An example of the proposed schema for revising papers related to operations performed in the seaside area of a terminal is presented.
