Abstract Inventory Routing Problem is a variant of the Vehicle Routing Problem that consists
of interrelated vehicle routing and inventory decisions. There is a growing interest in …

We review recent literature pertaining to the maritime inventory routing problem (MIRP), a
stimulating, albeit niche, subclass of vendor‐managed inventory problems. MIRPs deal with …

Due to an increased interest in small to medium scale liquefied natural gas (LNG) use, a
mathematical model has been developed to aid the decision making on tactical aspects in …

We consider an inventory routing problem in which a single vehicle is responsible for the
transport of a commodity from a set of supply locations to a set of demand locations. At each …

This paper considers a multi-product maritime inventory routing problem in which the routes
of the vessels are determined while inventories in the ports must remain within given …

The world energy demand is continuously increasing and natural gas is one of the strongest
candidates to cover the growth. However, natural gas is unavailable in many energy …

This work addresses uncertain sailing times and uncertain waiting times at ports in a
maritime inventory routing problem (MIRP). As the probability distribution of these uncertain …

We consider a short sea fuel oil distribution problem where an oil company is responsible for
the routing and scheduling of ships between ports such that the demand for various fuel oil …

In this paper, we have considered an EOQ inventory model with a price-dependent demand
and time varying holding cost in fuzzy environments by employing trapezoidal fuzzy …

This study proposes a model for island supply chain network design that integrates a
maritime location inventory routing problem (MLIRP) and considers the periodic freight …
