Ship Routing and Scheduling: Status and Perspectives
TLDR
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.read more

Cyclic transfer algorithms for multivehicle routing and scheduling problems
TL;DR: This paper investigates the application of a new class of neighborhood search algorithms—cyclic transfers—to multivehicle routing and scheduling problems and shows that cyclic transfer methods are either comparable to or better than the best published heuristic algorithms for several complex and important vehicle routing and schedules problems.
