The Fleet and Berth Selection Model to Improve Energy and Environment Sustainability

This research aims to improve energy sustainability in transportation management. The case was derived from port-to-port coal problem commonly faced by third-party logistic (3PL) company. During planning, they must determine which shipsets be used and assign them the loading/unloading berths. Each berth varies terms of its speed each shipset capacity, sail speed, fuel consumption rate. selection impacts auxiliary main engine while only consumption. target is minimize total consumed both engines for whole shipset. We modelled through Multiple Vehicle Allocation Problem (MVAP) framework proposed a heuristic algorithm find solutions. proven able reach an optimal solution small cases near-optimal medium large cases.
