    Abstract

    We solve an important problem for the liner shipping industry called the
    Liner Shipping Fleet Repositioning Problem (LSFRP). The LSFRP poses a
    large financial burden on liner shipping firms. During repositioning,
    vessels are moved between services in a liner shipping network. Shippers
    wish to reposition vessels as cheaply as possible without disrupting the
    cargo flows of the network. The LSFRP is characterized by chains of
    interacting activities with a multi-commodity flow over paths defined by
    the activities chosen. Despite its great industrial importance, the LSFRP
    has received little attention in the literature. We introduce a novel
    mathematical model of the LSFRP with cargo flows based on a carefully
    constructed graph and evaluate it on real world data from our industrial
    collaborator.
