Constrained Based Stowage Planning (2010-2013)

Motivation: Container vessels spent a large fraction of their time in ports. This is costly, not only in port fees, but also due to the reduction in the available sail time to the next port to call.
Research objective and goals: The research project aims at reducing the time that vessel must spent in ports by using optimization algorithms to produce stowage plans that can be executed fast.
Research activities The research project considers hierarchically decomposed hybrid optimization algorithms to generate complete stowage plans for a container vessel. In particular, it aims at developing approaches based on constraint programming that on the one hand are able to produce high-quality stowage plans, and on the other hand can be generated sufficiently fast to be applicable in practical stowage support tools.
Project Period: 2010-2012.
Funding: The project is a three year PhD stipend with Ange Optimization supported by The Danish Agency for Science Technology and Innovation. The total budget is DKK 1.7M.

The ENERPLAN research project (Energy Efficient Transportation Planning) is supported by a 7 Mkr grant from The Danish Council for Strategic Research within the special program ‘Green IT’. The research project is a collaboration between Maersk Line, DTU Management Engineering and the IT University of Copenhagen (2 Mkr support). The grant will finance two PhD and two post-doctorate positions at DTU and ITU to carry out research on mathematical optimization together with Maersk Line over a four-year period, starting in 2009.

I have for a long time been fascinated by the grey zone between computer science and operations research. After a number of years exploring the use of binary decision diagrams for deterministic and non-deterministic planning as well as optimal heuristic search and configuration, I wanted to address large-scale industrial combinatorial optimization problems with deep impact. Since 2005, I have collaborated with the world's largest liner shipper A.P. Moller-Maersk which is a Danish company with head quarters in Copenhagen. Our collaboration considers research and development of optimization algorithms and decision support systems used for container vessel stowage and liner service network design.

We use a wide range of optimization techniques including meta heuristics, integer and linear programming, column generation, constraint programming, extreme point search, large neighborhood search, BDD-based configuration and constructive heuristics. We prefer to work partly on site with real data and real operational models.

The area of shipping optimization is surprisingly unexplored. For that reason we also conduct basic research on the computational complexity of central problems and develop optimal reference methods for them. We are also involved in research collaborations that analyze current manual decision processes associated with these problems and identify sub-processes that are suitable for computational optmization. We believe that such fundamental work is key for understanding how to make successful optimization algorithms and decision support tools for solving the challenging combinatorial problems in this field.

Lately, I have also become interested in applying machine learning and data mining techniques for advanced data analysis and forecasting within the shipping and healthcare domain.

Previous Work

My work before 2005 has been methodological on developing automated planning algorithms for deterministic and non-deterministic domains using binary decision diagrams to implicitly represent a search space on symbolic form. A key contribution of this work has been a general approach for combining symbolic search and heuristics search called state-set branching.
