Manuscript Topics

Maintaining and improving the daily operations of vessels and ports are extremely complicated, capital intensive and cost sensitive. Researches on operational management on maritime transportation are gaining ground in all aspects and sectors of the maritime industry, and mainly focus on the efficiency issues, involving the allocation or assignment of recourses such as berthing space and yard space, the scheduling of critical equipment such as quay crane, yard crane, and container trucks (or AGVs), shipping service network design, fleet deployment, vessel’s speed optimization, vessel’s slot allocation, emission mitigation and reduction, etc.

This Special Issue on “Operations Research in Maritime Transportation” to be published in Electronic Research Archive aims to bring together recent theoretical, applied or methodological advances concerning operational management in maritime transportation, for example, mathematical programming, operational optimization modelling, heuristic algorithms, game theory, etc., to encourage the researchers in maritime studies to have deep thoughts to make the maritime transportation. Both research and review papers are welcomed.

The possible research topics include but are not limited to:
• Maritime transportation planning and management
• Maritime network or fleet optimization
• Optimization models for port and shipping operations
• Revenue/yield management of maritime transportation
• Sustainable maritime transportation and competitive advantages
• Game theory in collaboration and coordination
• Researches for the future era of automatic shipping and ports
