WAYS OF REDUCTIONS OF ECONOMIC COSTS WHEN PERFORMING CONTAINER TRANSPORTATION
Abstract
The article considers the issues of optimization of the process of drafting the cargo plan of the vessel - container vessel. The existing research in this subject area has been analyzed and it is shown that the key condition for reducing the economic costs of container transportation is the rational formation of the ship's cargo plan. It is determined that the process of compilation of cargo container plan is a complex multicriteria optimization problem, the solution of which provides an increase in the economic performance of the container transportation. It is shown that when compiling the optimal cargo plan of a vessel, it is necessary to take into account a number of restrictions connected with the sequence of the ship's approach to each port, the number of containers discharged/loaded at ports, the order of entering ports, delivery times, compliance with the requirements of maintaining the stability of the vessel. The mathematical model of formation of the cargo plan of the container carrier, taking into account the specifics of the design of a particular vessel, as well as the constraints associated with the loading sequence of the containers and the observance of the requirements of the stability of the vessel, is proposed. The application of the proposed mathematical model for the compilation of the containerized cargo plan will reduce the time costs for loading / unloading processes in the ports, and as a consequence, reduce the economic cost of the vessel's operations
