International shipping accounts for 2.7% of worldwide CO2 emissions, and measures to curb
future emissions growth are sought with a high sense of urgency. With the increased quest …

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 …

We review research on ship routing and scheduling and related problems during the new
millennium and provide four basic models in this domain. The volume of research in this …

This paper first calibrates the bunker consumption–sailing speed relation for container ships
using historical operating data from a global liner shipping company. It proceeds to …

The liner-shipping network design problem is to create a set of nonsimple cyclic sailing
routes for a designated fleet of container vessels that jointly transports multiple commodities …

This paper deals with a tactical-level liner ship route schedule design problem which aims to
determine the arrival time of a ship at each portcall on a ship route and the sailing speed …

It is crucial nowadays for shipping companies to reduce bunker consumption while
maintaining a certain level of shipping service in view of the high bunker price and …

Previous studies on liner container shipping operations usually assume identical container
ships deployed in the same shipping route. However, in real operations, this assumption …

This paper proposes a liner ship fleet deployment (LSFD) problem with container
transshipment operations. The proposed problem is formulated as a mixed-integer linear …

A mixed integer linear programming formulation is proposed for the simultaneous design of
network and fleet deployment of a deep-sea liner service provider. The underlying network …
