This paper studies a novel sustainable vessel routing problem modeling considering the multi-compartment, split pickup and split delivery, and time windows concepts. In the presented problem, oil tankers transport crude oil from supply ports to demand ports around the globe. The objective is to find ship routes, as well as port arrival and departure times, in a way that minimizes transportation costs. As a second objective, we considered the sustainability aspect by minimizing the vessel energy efficiency operational indicator. Multiple products are transported by a heterogeneous fleet of tankers. Small realistic test instances are solved with the exact method.

The advent of Connected Vehicles (CVs) is creating new opportunities within the transportation sector. It is, indeed, expected to improve road traffic safety, enhance mobility, reduce fuel consumption and gas emissions, as well as foster economic growth via investments and jobs. However, to motivate the deployment of CVs and maximize their related benefits, policymakers must create appropriate neutral legal frameworks. These frameworks should promote the innovation of current road infrastructures, support cooperation and interoperability between transportation systems, and encourage fair competition between companies while upholding consumer privacy as well as data protection. We argue that policymakers should also support innovative …
