Perishables Liner Bunkering Strategy and Route Optimization Considering Carbon Tax and Sulfur Emissions

Abstract

For the issue of perishable goods liner shipping route selection and bunkering strategy, this paper gives full consideration to the characteristics of perishable goods, in the context of the carbon tax and the setting of emission control zones, constructs a mixed-integer nonlinear planning model with the goal of minimizing the total weekly cost of liner service, designs a segmented linear approximation algorithm for model solution, and conducts an arithmetic analysis based on the actual liner voyage as an example, which provides a reference for the actual operation of shipping.
