Abstract

An approximate dynamic programming approach for the ship scheduling problem is studied. The decision problem at each stage is obtained by adding the value function in the set partitioning problem. The decision problem is a modification of the set partitioning problem so that it can be solved by the route generation approach. Numerical results for evaluating this approach is also given.
