Abstract. The berth allocation problem (BAP) in marine container terminals is defined as the feasible berth allocation to the incoming vessels. In this work, we develop a model of fully fuzzy linear programming (FFLP) for the continuous and dynamic BAP. The vessel arrival times are assumed to be imprecise, meaning that the vessel can be late or early up to a threshold permitted. Triangular fuzzy numbers represent the uncertainty of the arrivals. The model proposed has been implemented in CPLEX and evaluated for different instances. The results obtained show that the model proposed is helpful to the administrators of a marine container terminal, since a plan supporting imprecision in the arrival time of vessels, optimized with respect to the waiting time and easily adaptable to possible incidents and delays, is available to them.
