An optimisation model for offshore supply vessel operations

An optimisation model for offshore supply vessels made for a real life problem was presentedAll possible routes for the vessels are generated a prioriOptimal fleet and routes are found by solving a modified set partitioning model implemented in Xpress-MPThis is still work in progress, however, the decision support model seems to be of great value for StatoilHydro In the future:Focus on robustness in the solutionCombine optimisation with simulation?Sharing of vessels between depots
