“…Bookbinder et al [5] present four exact solution methodologies for solving the air cargo consolidation problem under the pivot-weight scheme. In this problem, customer's individual unit load devices (ULDs) are charged a penalty cost if the loaded weight fails to fall within an acceptable range; this penalty incentivizes proper aircraft balancing by creating a financial advantage to the customer to adhere to these rules [5]. A similar construct is presented in Sects.…”

This research effort presents a tabu search algorithm to solve the dynamic airlift loading problem. Given a set of palletized cargo items which require transportation from an aerial port of embarkation to an aerial port of debarkation within a pre-specified time frame, the dynamic airlift loading problem seeks to partition the pallets into aircraft loads, select an efficient and effective subset of aircraft from available aircraft, and assign the pallets to allowable positions on those aircraft. The dynamic airlift loading problem differs from many partitioning and packing problems described in the literature because, in addition to spatial constraints, factors such as allowable cabin load, balance restrictions, and temporal restrictions on cargo and aircraft are included. The algorithm developed in this research, the dynamic airlift loading problem-tabu search, was tested on a variety of problem instances. Since real-world solutions are hand generated by subject matter experts and no previous research effort has solved this specific problem, the algorithmic results are compared to compute lower bounds on the number of aircraft trips required.

“…Consolidation allows to transport smaller goods (e.g. put on a few pallets) from distant areas for a reasonable price [1][2] Nowadays, time and price are the most important factors; therefore, consolidation of cargos is a good solution [3]. It is also particular facilitation for smaller exporters.…”

The problem of consolidation of goods for the provider of logistic services, which is a third part that delivers goods from many suppliers to one business client in time horizon was analysed in this article. Every parcel has a fixed date of reception in the source and delivery schedule in a destination. In the age of highly developed economy, time pressure and costs, outsourcing is a condition necessary to improve the functioning of enterprises. New logistic chains, networks of terminals and intermodal connections are built every year to reduce the transport costs and improve the whole process. In this article, the authors presented the benefits resulting from consolidation of cargos in the road transport. Special emphasis was put on determination of the role of the transport costs reduction using the cargo consolidation services.

“…The globalized economy of modern times connected all regions in the world into one coherent whole [2], [6]. The products manufactured in Europe can also be received in the same quality from other regions such as China [3]. Industrial enterprise may save a lot of money using latest technologies, as well as producers located in the zones of cheap labour [13], [14].…”

Transport is one of the key elements allowing to achieve goals, tasks and plans. Transport need results from the necessity of moving from one place to another. To make it happen, the resource in the form of a means of transport is necessary. Another aspect is organizational actions. The basic source of transport demand is diversity of distribution of the factors allowing to run business. Due to globalization of economy, range and frequency of transports have considerably increased. New logistic chains, networks of terminals and intermodal connections are being created every year. The goal of all these actions is to reduce transport costs and improve the whole process. The authors of this article set a goal of defining the role of optimization of transport costs using a consolidation service. Conducted analysis confirmed that consolidation services reduce the costs of transport of small cargos. http://www.transnav.eu the International Journal on Marine Navigation and Safety of Sea Transportation Volume 13 Number 4
