• An adaptive heuristic for Feeder Network Design with optional transshipment 

      Bergmann, Morten; Msakni, Mohamed Kais; Hemmati, Ahmad; Fagerholt, Kjetil (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)
      This paper studies the Feeder Network Design Problem (FNDP), which considers the design of a minimum cost liner shipping network for the transportation of cargo (containers) between a given hub port and a set of feeder ...
    • Analyzing different designs of liner shipping feeder networks: a case study 

      Msakni, Mohamed Kais; Fagerholt, Kjetil; Meisel, Frank; Lindstad, Elizabeth (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)
      This paper proposes different network structures for a real liner shipping company to serve demands between Norwegian and European continental ports. The current practice of the shipping company deploys a feeder network ...
    • Can autonomous ships help short-sea shipping become more cost-efficient? 

      Msakni, Mohamed Kais; Akbar, Abeera; Aasen, Anna Kristine Almestad; Fagerholt, Kjetil; Meisel, Frank; Lindstad, Elizabeth (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)
      There is a strong political focus on moving cargo transportation from trucks to ships to reduce environmental emissions and road congestion. We study how the introduction of a future generation of autonomous ships can be ...
    • Combining Optimization and Simulation for Designing a Robust Short-sea Feeder Network 

      Medbøen, Carl Axel Benjamin; Holm, Magnus Bolstad; Msakni, Mohamed Kais; Fagerholt, Kjetil; Schütz, Peter (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)
      Here we study a short-sea feeder network design problem based on mother and daughter vessels. The main feature of the studied system is performing transshipment of cargo between mother and daughter vessels at appropriate ...
    • An economic analysis of introducing autonomous ships in a short‐sea liner shipping network 

      Akbar, Abeera; Aasen, Anna Kristine Almestad; Msakni, Mohamed Kais; Fagerholt, Kjetil; Lindstad, Elizabeth; Meisel, Frank (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)
      The development of autonomous ships is at an advanced stage. It seems to be just a question of time before such ships become available at an industrial scale. In this paper, we investigate the economic advantages of utilizing ...
    • Simulation of a Dial-a-Ride Service with Autonomous Ferries in the Kiel Fjord 

      Bui, Arne Thien An (Master thesis, 2020)
      Nylige teknologiske framskritt har muliggjort nye operasjonsmoduser. Man ser for seg at en endret kostnadsstruktur gjennom bruk av en helautonom flåte, gjør det mulig for å designe fleksible, kostnadseffektive, og klimavennlige ...
    • Strategic Fleet Renewal of Norwegian Fisheries with Environmental Considerations 

      Sønnervik, Helle Hagli (Master thesis, 2023)
      Norge har under Parisavtalen forpliktet seg til å redusere utslippene av klimagasser med minst 55% innen 2030 sammenliknet med utslippsnivået i 1990. I tillegg har Norge et lovfestet mål om å bli et lavutslippssamfunn innen ...
    • Using machine learning prediction models for quality control: a case study from the automotive industry 

      Msakni, Mohamed Kais; Risan, Anders; Schütz, Peter (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2023)
      This paper studies a prediction problem using time series data and machine learning algorithms. The case study is related to the quality control of bumper beams in the automotive industry. These parts are milled during the ...
