Optimization in container liner shipping
We will gives an overview of several decision problem encountered in liner shipping. We will cover problems on the strategic, tactical and operational planning levels as well as problems that can be considered at two planning levels simultaneously. Furthermore, we will shortly discuss some related problems in terminals, geographical bottlenecks for container ships and provide an overview of ope...
متن کاملService Level Assignment and Container Routing for Liner Shipping Service Networks
In this work, a decision tool is developed for a liner shipping company to deploy its fleet considering vessel speeds and to find routes for cargos with transit time constraints simultaneously. This problem is referred as Service level Assignment and Container Routing Problem (SACRP) in the sequel. A Column Generation (CG) algorithm is implemented for the SACRP. Computational experiments are pe...
متن کاملContainer Liner Shipping Alliances, Excess Investment, and Antitrust Immunity
Introducing the unique characteristics of the international marine transport industry, this paper examines whether load capacity is excessive or insufficient in the presence of uncertainty on the future economic situation in terms of both welfare of one country and global welfare. We also consider the effect of alliances and the application of antitrust immunity on capacity building of shipping...
متن کاملA Tactical Planning Model for Liner Shipping Companies: Managing Container Flow and Ship Deployment Jointly
This paper addresses two practical problems from a liner shipping company, i.e., the container flow management problem and the ship deployment problem at the tactical planning level. The joint optimization model, as well as, a sequential model, is formulated to solve the problems. Our results show the company should implement the joint optimization model at the tactical planning level to improv...
متن کاملNew MIP Models for Liner Shipping Route Design with Empty Container Repositioning
This paper addresses the problem of optimal planning of a line for a container shipping company. Given estimated weekly splittable demands between pairs of ports and bounds for the turnaround time, our goal is to determine the subset of ports to be called and the amount of containers to be shipped between each pair of ports, so as to maximize the profit of the shipping company. In order to save...
