A Variable Neighborhood Search Heuristic for Tramp Ship Scheduling
2011This paper considers a classical ship scheduling problem in which the routing and scheduling of a heterogeneous fleet of ships with time windows for pick-ups and deliveries at multiple ports is required. Assuming fixed ship speeds, the problem of maximising profit is addressed.

Tramp ship routing and scheduling with speed optimization
Transportation Research Part C: Emerging Technologies, 2011Abstract Tramp shipping companies are committed to transport a set of contracted cargoes and try to derive additional revenue from carrying optional spot cargoes. Traditionally, models for ship routing and scheduling problems are based on fixed speed and a given fuel consumption rate for each ship.

1986To more than one maritime country, tramp shipping provides a substantial portion of national income. This is especially true of Great Britain, the Scandinavian countries, Greece, Italy, and Japan.

Tramp shipping: The role of taxation in international resource allocation
Maritime Policy & Management, 1997This paper analyses the role of taxation in the international allocation of resources within the tramp shipping industry. It is argued that taxation is responsible for the majority of the variation between the cost structures of tramp ship owners of different nationalities with implications for national competitiveness and the incentive to invest.
