HighlightsA non-linear payload and speed dependent fuel consumption is considered.The routes and speeds are optimized under time, cost and environmental objectives.A branch-and-price algorithm and a constraint programming model are developed.Different objectives produce very different solutions.
AbstractThe purpose of this paper is to investigate a multiple ship routing and speed optimization problem under time, cost and environmental objectives. A branch and price algorithm as well as a constraint programming model are developed that consider (a) fuel consumption as a function of payload, (b) fuel price as an explicit input, (c) freight rate as an input, and (d) in-transit cargo inventory costs. The alternative objective functions are minimum total trip duration, minimum total cost and minimum emissions. Computational experience with the algorithm is reported on a variety of scenarios.
