by the terminal. Their experimental results further show that restrictive YC mobility due to more storage blocks gives better performance than a system with greater YC mobility.

Only recently, researchers have started to examine the scheduling of equipment in bulk goods terminals. [@Hu:2012:SSD:2441300.2441305] consider the problem of scheduling the stacker and reclaiming at a terminal for iron ore. It is assumed that all tasks (stacking and reclaiming operation) are known at the start of the planning horizon. The terminal configuration is such that a single stracker/reclaimer serves two pads, so there is no need to consider a no-passing constraint. A sequence dependent set-up time, as a result of the movement of the stacker/reclaimer between two consecutive tasks, is considered. A mixed integer programming formulation is presented and a genetic algorithm is proposed. [@6565191] study the problem of scheduling reclaimers at an iron ore import terminal serving the steel industry. Each reclaim task has a release date and due date, and the goal is to minimize the completion of a set of reclaim tasks. The terminal configuration is not specified and no mention is made of no-passing constraints. A mixed integer programming formulation is presented and a Benders decomposition algorithms is
