DESCRIPTION:This talk will address the optimisation of transport routes of
  barge container ships with the objective to\nmaximise the profit of a shi
 pping company. This problem consists of determining the upstream and\ndown
 stream calling sequence and the number of loaded and empty containers tran
 sported between any two ports. You will see how this problem can be mathem
 atically formulated and how MATLAB can be \nused to obtain a solution. In 
 conclusion\, a detailed case study transportation analysis will illustrate
  how the proposed approach can be used by managers of barge shipping compa
 nies to make appropriate \ndecisions and solve industrial problems.\n
