Cold ironing (CI) is an electrification alternative in the maritime sector used to reduce shipborne emissions by switching from fuel electricity when a ship docks at port. During ship’s berthing mode of operation, accurately estimating duration could assist port operator manage berth allocation and energy scheduling optimally. However, involvement multiple input parameters with large dataset re...

Maritime transportation is an important industry, with seaborne trade estimated to be up to 85% in terms of weight of total international trade in 2007. Capital investment for ships is substantial, and the operating costs of a ship may range from thousands to tens of thousands of US dollars daily, thus the potential benefits of optimized approaches to fleet planning are significant. Despite thi...

In this contribution we optimize the transportation of containers in the hinterland of a local area with one terminal and one depot for empty containers and trucks. There are several customers who want to receive goods by inbound containers and several customers who want to ship goods by outbound containers. Additionally, there are empty inbound containers and empty outbound containers. We pres...

Nowadays, most merchant vessels use Heavy Fuel Oils (HFOs) for the ship propulsion. These fuels are cost effective but they produce significant amounts of noxious emissions. To comply with IMO & MARPOL environmental regulations, Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) is becoming an interesting option for the merchant ships. The purpose and scope of this paper is to describe the fact...

The Integrated Computerized Deployment System (ICODES) is a logistic software application of ship load-planning tools that utilizes intelligent software agents in a human-computer collaborative mode. As an example of a new generation of ‘information-centric’ military decision-support systems, ICODES includes expert agents with automatic reasoning and analysis capabilities. This is made possible...

Ship–infrastructure cooperation, i.e., infrastructure scheduling, is significant for optimizing the utilization of spatial-temporal resources infrastructures and improving efficiency safety waterborne transportation systems. This paper carries out a systematic review scheduling problems in systems, including locks, terminals, berths, waterway intersections. The are linked to classical optimizat...
