A Heuristic Unloading Scheduling for the Raw-Material-Carrying Vessels

The purpose of this paper is to prepare an unloading schedule of the raw-material-carrying vessels at Pohang port so as to minimize the total demurrages. A mixed integer programming(MIP) model was constructed, in which only three berths were considered. For the feasible application of the model an approximation approach was employed. The results of the test run of the model based on the past four-month's real data of P company revealed the company could have saved a considerable amount of demurrages, if the model had been applied during the same period. In addition, all the processes were computerized for the clerk-in-charge not only to utilize the results of this study easily but also to rearrange the schedule in quick response to any possible changes.
