The Fleet and Berth Selection Model to Improve Energy and Environment Sustainability
This research aims to improve energy sustainability in transportation management. The case wasderived from port-to-port coal transportation problem commonly faced by third-party logistic (3PL)company. During planning, they must determine which shipsets to be used and assign them to theloading/unloading berths.
