摘要
We present a multi-start local search heuristic for a typical ship scheduling problem. A large number of initial solutions are generated by an insertion heuristic with random elements. The best initial solutions are improved by a local search heuristic that is split into a quick and an extended version. The quick local search is used to improve a given number of the best initial solutions. The extended local search heuristic is then used to further improve some of the best solutions found. The multi-start local search heuristic is compared with an optimization-based solution approach with respect to computation time and solution quality. The computational study shows that the multi-start local search method consistently returns optimal or near-optimal solutions to real-life instances of the ship scheduling problem within a reasonable amount of computation time.
