A Base Integer Programming Model and Benchmark Suite for Liner-Shipping Network Design [PDF]

open access: yesTransportation Science, 2014
The liner-shipping network design problem is to create a set of nonsimple cyclic sailing routes for a designated fleet of container vessels that jointly transports multiple commodities.

Liner-Shipping Network Design with Emission Control Areas: A Real Case Study

open access: yesSustainability, 2023
In recent years, liner-shipping companies have faced a traditional trade-off between cost and emission (CO2 and SOX) reduction. This study considers this element to construct a liner-shipping network design model which includes a package-cargo transport ...

Route Network Design for Liner Shipping

SSRN Electronic Journal
Each year, a large majority of global cargo is transported via container vessels operated by liner shipping companies through networks of scheduled, weekly rotations. These networks dictate the majority of operational costs, including fuel, capital, and port fees.

Network Design and Allocation Mechanisms for Carrier Alliances in Liner Shipping

Operations Research, 2010
Many real-world systems operate in a decentralized manner, where individual operators interact with varying degrees of cooperation and self motive. In this paper, we study transportation networks that operate as an alliance among different carriers. In particular, we study alliance formation among carriers in liner shipping.

Service Network Design of Liner Shipping

2014
All shipping liner companies divide their service regions into several rotations (strings) inorder to operate their container vessels. A string is the ordered set of ports at which a container vessel will call. Each port is usually called at no more than twice along one string, although a single port may be called at several times on different strings.

Designing the Liner Shipping Network of Tomorrow Powered by Alternative Fuels

Transportation Science
The liner shipping industry is undergoing an extensive decarbonization process to reduce its 275 million tons of CO2 emissions as of 2018. In this process, the long-term solution is the introduction of new alternative maritime fuels. The introduction of alternative fuels presents a great set of unknowns.

Network Design for Shipping Service of Large-Scale Intermodal Liners

Transportation Research Record: Journal of the Transportation Research Board, 2012
A model was developed for network design of a shipping service for large-scale intermodal liners that captured essential practical issues, including consistency with current services, slot purchasing, inland and maritime transportation, multiple-type containers, and origin-to-destination transit time.

A Liner Shipping Network Design – Routing and Scheduling Impacted by Environmental Influences

2011
Not only attempts to reduce costs but also emissions are driving shipping companies to operate their fleet in slow steaming mode.We show a strategic liner shipping network design decision support system which takes into account three environmental influences: waves, currents and wind.

Formulating cargo inventory costs for liner shipping network design

Maritime Policy & Management, 2016
ABSTRACTThis study examines how to incorporate the inventory costs of containerized cargoes into existing liner service planning models such that the designed networks could be improved while not causing extra modeling/computational burden. Two approaches are compared: (i) not considering the inventory costs at all and (ii) incorporating the inventory ...
