TL;DR: A compact and efficient encoding of solutions is developed, which reduces significantly the search space and its flexibility is demonstrated by successful incorporation of ship stability constraints.
Abstract: The purpose of this study is to develop an efficient heuristic for solving the stowage problem. Containers on board a container ship are stacked one on top of the other in columns, and can only be unloaded from the top of the column. A key objective of stowage planning is to minimize the number of container movements. A genetic algorithm technique is used for solving the problem. A compact and efficient encoding of solutions is developed, which reduces significantly the search space. The efficiency of the suggested encoding is demonstrated through an extensive set of simulation runs and its flexibility is demonstrated by successful incorporation of ship stability constraints.
TL;DR: A wide variety of numerical experiments demonstrated that solutions by the weighting method are useful and applicable in practice for the ships container stowage and loading plans that satisfy ship stability and minimum number of container rehandles required.
Abstract: The efficiency of a maritime container terminal primarily depends on the smooth and orderly process of handling containers, especially during the ships loading process. The stowage and associated loading plans are mainly deter- mined by two criteria: ship stability and the minimum number of container rehandles required. The latter is based on the fact that most container ships have a cellular structure and that export containers are piled up in a yard. These two basic criteria are often in conflict. This paper is concerned with the ships container stowage and loading plans that satisfy these two criteria. The GM, list and trim are taken into account for the stability measurements. The problem is formulated as a multi-objective integer programming. In order to obtain a set of noninferior solutions of the problem, the weighting method is employed. A wide variety of numerical experiments demonstrated that solutions by this for- mulation are useful and applicable in practice. 2004 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
TL;DR: In this paper, a third-order mathematical model is introduced, aimed at describing strong parametric excitation associated with cyclic changes of the ship restoring characteristics, and a derivative model is employed to describe the coupled restoring actions up to third order.
TL;DR: In this article, the authors presented the technical and economic evaluation for ship-based carbon capture (SBCC) on diesel or LNG-fuelled vessels, and two reference ship engines of 1280 kW and 3000 kW were chosen.
