Abstract

This study evaluates the three main representations methods of the RoRo stowage planning problem for heterogeneous cargo and stability constraints. The lane, grid and hybrid-slot model are formulated and implemented in an equal manner to compare them. All formulations accounts for vessel stability by ensuring that the vertical centers of gravity, shear force and bending moment are within their respective limits. The results show the hybrid-slot approach create the best solutions on all instances across test on a small, medium and large ship.
