TL;DR: The objective of this paper is to review the current status of ship routing and scheduling and focus on literature published during the last decade, indicating both accelerating needs for and benefits from such systems.
Abstract: The objective of this paper is to review the current status of ship routing and scheduling. We focus on literature published during the last decade. Because routing and scheduling problems are closely related to many other fleet planning problems, we have divided this review into several parts. We start at the strategic fleet planning level and discuss the design of fleets and sea transport systems. We continue with the tactical and operational fleet planning level and consider problems that comprise various ship routing and scheduling aspects. Here, we separately discuss the different modes of operations: industrial, tramp, and liner shipping. Finally, we take a glimpse at naval applications and other related problems that do not naturally fall into these categories. The paper also presents some perspectives regarding future developments and use of optimization-based decision-support systems for ship routing and scheduling. Several of the trends indicate both accelerating needs for and benefits from such systems and, hopefully, this paper will stimulate further research in this area.

TL;DR: This chapter describes prescriptive operations research (OR) models and associated methodologies, rather than descriptive models that are usually of interest to economists and public policy makers, that have high potential to improve economic performance and increase profitability in the highly competitive arena.
Abstract: Publisher Summary This chapter discusses various aspects of maritime transportation operations and presents associated decision-making problems and models with an emphasis on ship routing and scheduling models. The chapter describes prescriptive operations research (OR) models and associated methodologies, rather than descriptive models that are usually of interest to economists and public policy makers. The ocean shipping industry has a monopoly on transportation of large volumes of cargo among continents. Pipeline is the only transportation mode that is cheaper than ships for moving large volumes of cargo over long distances. Maritime transportation is the backbone of international trade. The volume of maritime transportation has been growing for many years and is expected to continue growing in the foreseeable future. Maritime transportation is a unique transportation mode possessing characteristics that differ from other modes of transportation and requires decision support models that fit the specific problem characteristics. Maritime transportation poses a wide variety of challenging research problems, the solutions to which have high potential to improve economic performance and increase profitability in the highly competitive arena.

TL;DR: An earlier survey which proved to be of utmost importance for the community is updated and extended to provide the current state of the art in container terminal operations and operations research.
Abstract: The current decade sees a considerable growth in worldwide container transportation and with it an indispensable need for optimization. Also the interest in and availability of academic literatures as well as case reports are almost exploding. With this paper an earlier survey which proved to be of utmost importance for the community is updated and extended to provide the current state of the art in container terminal operations and operations research.
