    Summary: This paper addresses the integrated problem of dynamic continuous berth allocation and time-variant quay crane scheduling in container terminals and introduces the factor of tidal impacts into the problem. We mainly consider the impact of tides on the transport capacity of an approach channel that connects quay and anchorage. An integer linear programming model is developed, and then three heuristic algorithms, Genetic Algorithm, Hybrid Particle Swarm Optimization, and Hybrid Simulated Annealing, are proposed to solve the model. Numerical experiments are conducted to verify the efficient performances of the proposed heuristics. Moreover, experimental results also demonstrate the nonignorable impact of tides on the vessel turnaround time and the utilization of berth and quay cranes.
