| Abstract | In this research study a cargo ship routing problem is studied by means of a bicriterion Integer Linear Programming Problem. For solution, different Branch-and Bound strategies are analyzed on several test problems. OPTIMIX with "COST" branching option seems to give the best results. However, optimal solutions cannot be determined. In order to improve the heuristic solution values, the initial data set as been simplified. The resulting solutions are better than the solutions obtained in the previous studies (Bhuiyyan; AIT Thesis IE 82-2 1982/ Welgama; AIT Special Study SS 82-9, 1982 ). A heuristic procedure is proposed to schedule the routed vessels in an effective way. |
