Highlights A new combined fleet deployment and inventory management problem in Ro-Ro shipping. A novel MIP model for this problem. Solve realistic but partly randomly generate test instances. Substantial savings can be achieved.

    Abstract We consider a combined fleet deployment and inventory management problem in Roll-on Roll-off shipping. Along given trade routes there are ports with inventories that should be kept within their limits. Current planning practice is to visit all ports every time a trade route is serviced. We instead aim at determining the sailing routes of each voyage along the trade route, where some ports can be skipped on certain voyages. A novel mixed integer programming model is proposed and tested on realistic instances. The results indicate that substantial gains can be achieved from this more flexible way of planning.
