Abstract

In the precondition of ensuring structural strength and stability of the container vessel, to generate fast stowage plans, the container stowage problem for below deck location (CSPBDL) is introduced, and the integer programming model is established for stowing a set of containers with 3 weight classes and 4 destination ports, a heuristic algorithm is also presented. Then, GAMS is used to test the algorithm. According to the results, 94% of the containers obtain the stowage plans successfully in the average of 14 seconds , and 90 % of the containers obtain the optimal stowage planning, the stowage costs reach least nearly.
