Routing and scheduling in project shipping
Tramp shipping companies are committed to transport a set of contracted cargoes and try to derive additional revenue from carrying optional spot cargoes. Here, we present a real life ship routing and scheduling problem for a shipping company operating in project shipping, a special segment of tramp shipping. This segment differs from more traditional tramp segments, as the cargoes are usually t...
متن کاملRouting and Scheduling in Tramp Shipping - Integrating Bunker Optimization
A tramp ship operator typically has some contracted cargoes that must be carried and seeks to maximize profit by carrying optional cargoes. Hence, tramp ships operate much like taxies following available cargoes and not according to a fixed route network and itinerary as liner ships. Marine fuel is referred to as bunker and bunker costs constitute a significant part of the daily operating costs...
متن کاملRouting and scheduling in a liquefied natural gas shipping problem with inventory and berth constraints
Liquefied natural gas (LNG) is natural gas that has been transformed to liquid form for the purpose of transportation, which is mainly done by specially built LNG vessels travelling from the production site to the consumers. We describe a real-life ship routing and scheduling problem from the LNG business, with both inventory and berth capacity constraints at the liquefaction port. We propose a...
متن کاملContainership Routing and Scheduling in Liner Shipping: Overview and Future Research Directions
This paper reviews studies from the past 30 years that use operations research methods to tackle containership routing and scheduling problems at the strategic, tactical, and operational planning levels. These problems are first classified and summarized, with a focus on model formulations, assumptions, and algorithm design. The paper then gives an overview of studies on containership fleet siz...
متن کاملShip Scheduling and Network Design for Cargo Routing in Liner Shipping
A common problem faced by carriers in liner shipping is the design of their service network. Given a set of demand to be transported and a set of ports, a carrier wants to design service routes for his ships as efficiently as possible, using the underlying facilities. Furthermore, the profitability of the service routes designed depends on the paths chosen to ship the cargo. We present an integ...
