Abstract

The existing fleet planning decision supporting system(FPDSS) was analyzed, its defects were pointed out, and improvement directions were put forward to drive the development and application of it. By taking into account chartering boats and improving the previous mathematical model used for optimal calculation, a new model of ship routing and fleet planning, which took minimum total cost as its objective function, was developed. Furthermore, improvement schemes of the system’s function and the way of given data processing were given out. By improving the system according to the given improvement directions, the improved system might adjust to multitype fleet planning decision. In the meantime, it might give out the number of purchasing new ships and chartering ships in integer, moreover, the given data processing might be more accurate, and inquiry of previous optimization results might be more convenient, which provide better fleet planning decision support for shipping industry.

Key words
