The profit maximizing liner shipping problem with flexible frequencies: logistical and environmental considerations

“…In fact, most liner shipping optimization models that do include ship speed as a decision variable typically do not consider the possible impact of the state of the market on ship speed as being within the scope of their analysis. These include (among others) Alvarez (2009), Brouer et al (2017), Cariou (2011), Doudnikoff and Lacoste (2014), Eefsen and Cerup-Simonsen (2010), Guericke and Tierney (2015), , Lang and Veenstra (2010), Meng and Wang (2011), Notteboom and Vernimmen (2010), Qi and Song (2010), Reinhardt et al (2016), Song et al (2017), Yao et al (2012), and Zis et al (2015). An exception is the recent paper by Xia et al (2015), where a model which incorporates income considerations is presented, even though there is no analysis on the impact of higher or lower freight rates on how fast or slow containerships may go.…”

Speed optimizations for liner networks with business constraints

“…For a detailed literature review of cargo shipping optimization problems in general, we refer to the papers by Christiansen et al [8,9,7]. For an overview of optimization problems in liner shipping see [4].…”

“…To be more formal, let ρ l ≥ 0 be the robustness of leg l ∈ L. We can determine ρ l by modifying equation (4) to the following form…”

Solution Strategies for a Multiport Container Ship Stowage Problem

“…Seaborne trade accounts for nearly 80% of world trade and is one of the most efficient modes of transportation [1]. About 90% of nonbulk cargo worldwide is transported by container [2]. Since its development, containerization has played an everincreasing role, due to its important advantages, reducing packaging and deterioration of goods and increasing productivity in the intermodal transportation of products.…”
