“…In their case, direct routing turned out to be more economical than using the transshipment nodes. Tagawa et al (2021) also examined the alternative of direct shipping and transshipment in their paper. Sherali et al (1999) analyzed fleet management models and algorithms for oil tanker routing and scheduling.…”

Alternate optimal solutions in the mathematical programming solution of a real-world problem are rare, unless there are multiple objective functions. In a recent application of 2 mathematical programming solvers to a problem of crude oil logistics, I obtained 2 different optimal solutions. The almost optimal solutions obtained from the convex combinations of the 2 optimal solutions, are feasible as real transportation choices, if the optimal solutions cannot be implemented. It was observed that the 2 solutions led to different capacity utilization at the refineries downstream, and so do the many solution alternatives. This is useful information for the petroleum company during downtime for maintenance or capacity expansion.

“…The study also identified the challenges that need to be addressed for freight by short sea shipping operations to compete effectively with all-truck routes. Tagawa et al [5] analyzed factors influencing mode-choice decisions in maritime shipment network also pointing out the importance of incorporating qualitative attributes to the analysis.…”

Background: Finding trends in freight transportation activities enables businesses and policy makers to build an understanding of freight transportation patterns and their impact on logistics planning when making investments in a region’s transportation infrastructure and intermodal freight transport system. To the best of our knowledge, there is limited literature and data-driven analysis about trends in transportation mode choices and the influencing factors in Atlantic Canada. Methods: In this study, a data-driven method has been used to analyze the Canadian Freight dataset to identify trends in transportation activities within Maritime, Canada. Freight transportation mode, product categories, distance, number/weight of shipments, and revenue were examined. Results: The results revealed that the top five product categories exported from Atlantic provinces to the rest of Canada, the US, and Mexico are miscellaneous items, food products, forest products, minerals, and other manufactured goods, where Truck for Hire is the most deployed mode of transportation. A multiple linear regression analysis indicated that the weight, distance, and number of shipments are positively and rather strongly correlated with revenue generation. Conclusions: This study provides a unique overview of Canadian Freight Analysis Framework (CFAF) data with a focus on maritime activities.
