• 2D-packing with an application to stowage in Roll-on Roll-off liner shipping 

      Hansen, Jone; Hukkelberg, Ivar; Fagerholt, Kjetil; Stålhane, Magnus; Rakke, Jørgen Glomvik (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2016)
      Roll-on/Roll-off (RoRo) ships represent the primary source for transporting vehicles and other types of rolling material over long distances. In this paper we focus on operational decisions related to stowage of cargoes ...
    • A Heuristic Approach to the Two-Dimensional Roll-on Roll-off Liner Shipping Stowage Problem 

      Hansen, Jone; Hukkelberg, Ivar (Master thesis, 2016)
      Roll-on/Roll-off (RoRo) ships represent the primary source for transporting vehicles and other types of rolling material over long distances. In this master thesis, we focus on operational decisions related to stowage of ...
    • An adaptive large neighborhood search heuristic for the planar storage location problem: application to stowage planning for Roll-on Roll-off ships 

      Hansen, Jone Reinlund; Fagerholt, Kjetil; Stålhane, Magnus; Rakke, Jørgen Glomvik (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)
      This paper considers a generalized version of the planar storage location problem arising in the stowage planning for Roll-on/Roll-off ships. A ship is set to sail along a predefined voyage where given cargoes are to be ...
    • Emission Control Areas: Effect on the Fleet Renewal Problem 

      Sørgård, Ellen Helene (Master thesis, 2014)
      An important strategic planning problem in shipping is the fleet renewal problem. The purpose for liner shipping companies is to minimize the company's costs while finding the best way in which to develop a fleet over time ...
    • Maritime routing and speed optimization with emission control areas 

      Fagerholt, Kjetil; Gausel, Nora Therese; Rakke, Jørgen Glomvik; Psaraftis, Harilaos (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2015)
      Strict limits on the maximum sulphur content in fuel used by ships have recently been imposed in some Emission Control Areas (ECAs). In order to comply with these regulations many ship operators will switch to more expensive ...
    • Maximizing the rate of return on the capital employed in shipping capacity renewal 

      Mørch, Ove; Fagerholt, Kjetil; Pantuso, Giovanni; Rakke, Jørgen Glomvik (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2017)
      Decisions regarding investments in capacity expansion/renewal require taking into account both the operating fitness and the financial performance of the investment. While several operating requirements have been considered ...
    • Planning interrelated voyages with separation requirements in roll-on roll-off shipping 

      Hansen, Jone Reinlund; Fagerholt, Kjetil; Meisel, Frank; Rakke, Jørgen Glomvik (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019)
      We consider a new problem of planning interrelated voyages with separation requirements along a single trade in roll-on roll-off shipping. Along a given trade with a sequence of port calls, there is a number of contracts ...
    • Robust planning and disruption management in roll-on roll-off liner shipping 

      Sola Fischer, Andreas; Nokhart, Håkon Stavn; Olsen, Henrik; Fagerholt, Kjetil; Rakke, Jørgen Glomvik; Stålhane, Magnus (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2016)
      This paper presents different strategies for handling disruptions in fleet deployment in roll-on roll-off liner shipping, which basically consists of assigning a fleet of vessels to predefined voyages at minimum cost. A ...
    • Simulation and Rescheduling of Operation for a RoRo-fleet 

      Grieg, Thomas Willumsen; Pedersen, Ole Henrik F; Rønholt, Jørgen (Master thesis, 2013)
      This master thesis is a part of the MARFLIX (MARitime FLeet size and mIX) project. The research project MARFLIX is a collaboration between NTNU, MARINTEK, DNV and WWL. The overall aim for the MARFLIX project is to develop ...
