The steady, global increase in number of containers and the size of vessels able to carry containers is
adding pressure to seaports and terminals to increase capacity. The alternative solution to increasing
capacity other than physical expansion is via increased terminal performance so that containers are
loaded, discharged, stored, and dispatched efficiently whilst optimizing available resources. The
automatic planning of the operations of a container te rminal via market-based allocation of resources
may greatly benefit the container terminal in satisfying its objectives and meeting its goals. The
proposal is that a Multi-Agent System approach would offer port or terminal managers a suitable tool
to plan, coordinate, and manage the container terminal domain. There exists a variety of inputs and
outputs, actors, intrinsic characteristics and a large number of combinations of factors influencing the
output that makes it quite difficult to conduct analysis. In the suggested approach, the Multi-Agent
System will plan and co-ordinate the processes within the terminal by mapping the objects and
resources that are used in the terminal. The agents will be searching, coordinating, communicating, and
negotiating with other agents via a market-based mechanism, a series of auctions, in order to complete
their specified goal.
