I still wonder about stowage plans for these. I guess t's the next level down to solve approximately after the route plan for each container. They come later and have constraints that are more contingent than the global system level view.
Ballpark, optimistically, shore cranes can do 30-50 moves per hour, 2 or 4, maybe 6 cranes per vessel, and you have to unpack shell layer by layer.
* Ultra Large Container Vessel (ULCV): 14,501 TEU and higher
* New Panamax: 10,000-14,500 TEU
* Post-Panamax: 5,101-10,000 TEU
* Panamax: 3,001-5,100 TEU
24,000 TEU (Twenty-foot Equivalent Units), say 12k 40-foot containers
4 cranes * 50 containers/crane-hour * 24 hours/day = 1.2k containers / day
Stowage plans for ships also have weight, balance, power, and value acceptability criteria beyond availability at a port.
These overheads made me curious enough to write up some napkin math, since they mention cut-and-run early departures from ports.
