Automatically generate port rotation, create liner services, deploy the right sized vessels in services, select the right port cargo with maximum contribution, maximize vessel utilization and profitability, and generate vessel schedules. Maximizing voyage profitability is the objective function of the Optimizer, where the port pair, equipment type, and weight is selected from list of port pairs, with the aim of maximizing profitability. The lower and upper bound TEU’s / weight ensures that contract commitments of the customers are complied. Optimizer ensures that vessel is utilized to the maximum in TEU’s rather than weight, by ensuring that empty container surplus and deficits are balanced, by moving the empties from surplus to deficit location with minimum repositioning cost.
