| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
In this study, we dealt with optimization problems for minimizing total fuel consumption under practical constraints. In our problems, the order of visiting ports, the route between two ports, and the shipping speed on each leg were treated as decision variables. Especially, we considered the following two optimization problems: (i) the minimization of the total fuel consumption between two ports by controlling the shipping route and the shipping speed on each leg under the effect of ocean current and (ii) the minimization of the total fuel consumption on a voyage by controlling the order of visiting ports under practical constraints. For the former problem, we proposed a practical algorithm based on enumeration and relaxation. In addition, we modeled the latter problem into set covering problem and proposed inexact column generation algorithm based on relaxation.
