Abstract: Disclosed is a method, performed by an electronic device, for assigning items into one or more containers. The method comprises obtaining a plurality of attributes associated with a corresponding item. The method comprises obtaining a set of container parameters associated with a corresponding container. The method comprises obtaining one or more constraints, wherein the one or more constraints limit assigning items in a same container. The method comprises determining an assignment of the items to the one or more containers, based on the attributes, the set of container parameters and the one or more constraints. The method comprises outputting, based on the assignment, an assignment plan of the items into the one or more containers.

Abstract: A method of handling one or more vessels and/or equipment in a terminal is disclosed. The method comprises obtaining an initial Berth plan comprising vessel data of a set of vessels. The method comprises determining a first Berth plan based on the initial Berth plan. The method comprises determining if the first Berth plan satisfies a first criterion. The method comprises in accordance with a determination that the first Berth plan satisfies the first criterion, updating a Berth plan set with the first Berth plan. The method comprises outputting the Berth plan set to a control system.

Abstract: A computer-implemented method for providing optimization in a micro services architecture comprising at least one optimization service is disclosed. The at least one optimization service comprises a managing component configured to provide access to the at least one optimization service to a client, a messaging component configured to queue optimization requests, at least one working component configured to solve optimization tasks, and at least one storage component, and wherein the components in the at least one optimization service are operatively connected to each other.
