Vessel Crew Scheduling: Formulations and Heuristics

Abstract: Crew scheduling is a well-studied area of research, in particular for airlines, but very little attention has been given to companies operating fleets of vessels. The maritime setting presents its own challenges, such as long duty times and weather uncertainties.

In this talk, we discuss different formulations and solution methods (including customised heuristics and approximate formulations) for solving these problems.

We will conclude with preliminary computational results and a case study.
