Resumen:
The paper presents a novel column generation algorithm for the routing and scheduling of a fleet of multiparcel chemical tankers. In our procedure, the conventional dynamic programming route generator is replaced by an efficient continuous-time MILP-slave problem. The proposed approach outperforms the exact optimization model and other heuristic decomposition methods presented in the literature to solve a real-world example of a shipping company operating in the Asia Pacific Region.
