The bulk port has a limited storage yard, during the entering port operation of cargos, there is the problem that how to give consideration to both the operating efficiency and arranging the reasonable storage of cargos in the storage yard with dynamic changes of cargos entering and leaving the port. In order to solve the problem, a Bulk Storage Assignment Algorithm in Bulk port based on Game theory (BSAABG) was proposed. Firstly, the storage assignment behavior was modelled as a dynamic game, and the satisfaction equilibrium was applied to analyze this game. Assuming that each batch of cargos has an expectation for assignment benefit, the game will reach satisfaction equilibrium when all cargos meet their expectations. Then, BSAABG was used to solve the model constructed above, and the convergence of the proposed algorithm was proved theoretically. Experimental results show that, when the number of cargo batches is 20, BSAABG can increase the average cargo satisfaction by 62.5% and 18.2% compared to the manual assignment method (simulated by Greedy Algorithm (GA)) and Storage Assignment algorithm Based on Rule (SABR) respectively, and has the storage assignment benefit 6.83 times and 3.22 times of those of GA and SABR respectively. It can be seen that the proposed algorithm can effectively improve the average cargo satisfaction and the storage assignment benefit.
