Abstract：Berth and yard are the core resources in container ports .In order to reduce port congestion and improve port operational efficiency , the relationship between berth allocation and yard assignment is con-sidered, and a joint optimization approach is proposed .First, a mixed integer programming model is for-mulated for the problem .Then, a genetic algorithm-based solution method is developed to solve the model . At last, a series of numerical experiments are performed to compare the data between the joint optimization and traditional ones .Result shows the cost advantage and the efficiency of the proposed approach .
