Multi-Objective Ship’s Cargo Handling Model

Abstract

This paper proposes a new optimization model for ship's cargo handling operations which solution gives the structure of cargo handling resources required, along with attaining the minimum total 'in-port' costs and the minimum of time required for completion of cargo operations. Due to complexity of the model which consists of composite multi-objective functions together with several decision variables and constraints, the solution has been sought by utilization of an adapted genetic algorithm combined with a hybrid algorithm. Testing of the model on real world data yielded acceptable results in a short time. In the course of decision making, the ship's operator can, on the basis of the proposed model and taking into consideration shipping market data, choose appropriate variation of the returned solution, which incorporates minimum costs, minimum of operational time and related cargo handling resources.

Comparative Voyage-Based Evaluation of Yacht Transfer by Self-Sailing and Cargo Vessel Shipment – A Pilot Study

“…Economic and technical factors affect the voyage cost in shipping and are given in [18,19]. Daily fixed costs (running costs) should be considered Maritime transportation must factor in the needs and activities of organisations and professional activities such as ship-owners, shippers, port and terminals, shipping agencies, cargo handling, and lashing operations.…”

“…l y y 500 $ = ^h (19) This applies where E l is loading port expenses (USD), N is the net tonnage of the ship, y is number of yachts loaded, r dt is the rate between USD and TL, r ed is the rate between Euro and USD, c depends on the period of ship's operations.…”

Modelo Multicritério Construvista para Certificação de Qualidade dos Atores Logísticos para os Portos de Santa Catarina

“…Em relação aos custos de movimentação da carga, salienta-se que os carregamentos devem ser bem planejados e coordenados em todos os níveis VI CIDESPORT/2019 Congresso Internacional de Desempenho Portuário operacionais, a fim de obter custos operacionais mínimos totais e tempo de serviço reduzido (Hess & Hess, 2015). O uso de contêineres reduziu muito as operações de manuseio nos portos e em todos os outros pontos de transferência, aumentando assim a eficiência e a velocidade do transporte (Kozan, 2000).…”
