Routing and scheduling in a liquefied natural gas shipping problem with inventory and berth constraints
Liquefied natural gas (LNG) is natural gas that has been transformed to liquid form for the purpose of transportation, which is mainly done by specially built LNG vessels travelling from the production site to the consumers. We describe a real-life ship routing and scheduling problem from the LNG business, with both inventory and berth capacity constraints at the liquefaction port. We propose a...
متن کاملShip routing and scheduling with inventory and stowage constraints
We present a real planning problem where cement is transported by a fleet of ships from several production factories to many consumption silos along the Norwegian coast. The planners are responsible for both the ship routing and the inventory management at all production and consumption facilities. There exist several types of cement and the various types have to be allocated in separate cargo ...
متن کاملSingle Machine Scheduling Problem with Precedence Constraints and Deteriorating Jobs
This paper considers the single machine scheduling problem with precedence constraints and deteriorating jobs. A mathematical model based on binary integer programming (BIP) is developed. By these precedence constraints, jobs can not start before completion of its all predecessors. The represented model is in two steps, in step one the earliest starting time of each job is computed, then the re...
متن کاملRouting and scheduling in project shipping
Tramp shipping companies are committed to transport a set of contracted cargoes and try to derive additional revenue from carrying optional spot cargoes. Here, we present a real life ship routing and scheduling problem for a shipping company operating in project shipping, a special segment of tramp shipping. This segment differs from more traditional tramp segments, as the cargoes are usually t...
متن کاملLiquefied Natural Gas for Trucks and Buses
Liquefied natural gas (LNG) is being developed as a heavy vehicle fuel. The reason for developing LNG is to reduce our dependency on imported oil by eliminating technical and costs barriers associated with its usage. The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) has a program, currently in its third year, to develop and advance costeffective technologies for operating and refueling natural gas–fueled hea...
