Bunker Procurement Planning for Container Liner Shipping Companies
Transportation Research Record: Journal of the Transportation Research Board, 2015This paper investigates the bunker procurement planning (BPP) problem arising for a container liner shipping company that plans to purchase bunker from both bunker futures contracts and the spot market to hedge the risk in fluctuation of and increases in bunker prices. A multistage bunker procurement decision process for the BPP problem is developed to

Liner ship fleet deployment with container transshipment operations
Transportation Research Part E: Logistics and Transportation Review, 2012This paper proposes a liner ship fleet deployment (LSFD) problem with container transshipment operations. The proposed problem is formulated as a mixed-integer linear programming model which allows container transshipment operations at any port, any number of times, without explicitly defining the container transshipment variables.

Comparison of Container Routing in Liner Shipping Networks
The increasing volatility of liner shipping networks, characterized by frequent capacity reallocations and schedule disruptions, calls for robust and com-parable container routing models. This paper presents a systematic comparison of two approaches: the Connection Scan Algorithm (CSA) and the RAPTOR algo-rithm. To enable a model-independent assessment,Massimo Di Gangi +2 more
