Berth Allocation Problem (BAP) is a typical optimization problem in the context of port operations. The objective is to minimize the difference between the arrival time and departure time of each ship, to make ports gain competitiveness. A variant of this problem considers constraints related to water depth and tides effects. This variant is more and more actual, because shipping companies are constantly increasing ship size and capacity in order to obtain better economies of scales, causing a lot of problems to port authorities in the management of arriving ships and in their berthing plans. The focus of this thesis is to study a BAP, but with tides constraints, to make some evaluations about future possible scenarios.
