Appendix A. Data

Ports

The ports considered in this study are obtained by merging all routes in the Asia-Europe trade lane of Maersk during spring 2010. Port Los Angeles is removed from thelist, because it is not on the Asia-Europe trade lane. The 58 remaining ports, countriesand regions can be found in natural order in Table A.1.

Distance

The distances between ports can be computed using distance calculators on the inter-net. The distances between the port combinations can be found in Table A.2.

Demand

In the cargo routing model it is important to know the demand between two ports.However, it is hard to achieve realistic data on the demand. The demand data is obtainedfrom Lachner & Boskamp (2011). First, they determine total demand to be allocated onthe Asia-Europe trade lane. This is done using annual reports of Maersk. Furthermore, agrowth percentage is included in the calculation and corrections are made for joint services.Thereafter, the total demand is divided over port combinations using port throughput.The port throughput of both the origin and the destination port is used to determine thedemand of a port combination. The demand that is generated in this way can be foundin Table A.4.

Revenue

The revenue data is also obtained from Lachner & Boskamp (2011). It is assumed thatthe revenue per unit only depends on the distance between the origin and destination portof the demand and on the direction in which the demand has to be transported. Thereto,

two revenue factors are introduced. The first factor gives the revenue of transportingone unit of cargo over one nautical mile in the westbound direction. The other revenuefactor gives the revenue of transporting one unit of cargo over one nautical mile in theeastbound direction. Then, for each port combination, it is checked whether cargo has tobe transported in westbound or eastbound direction. Finally, the corresponding revenuefactor is multiplied with the direct distance between origin and destination port, whichgives the revenue per unit of the considered port combination.

Lachner & Boskamp obtained the revenue by taking the 10-year average of historicaldata. This calculation gives the revenue in USD/TEU for both the eastbound and thewestbound direction. Thereafter, they divided these revenues by the average distancebetween Asian and European ports. This results in the two revenue factors. The rev-enue factor is 0.0838 USD/nm in eastbound direction and 0.1677 USD/nm in westbounddirection.

Available ships

In Francesetti & Foschi (2002) an overview of costs related to ships with different sizesis given. The ship sizes given in this article are also used in this study. Furthermore, someadditional ship sizes are added in this study. The costs of these added ships are obtainedby extrapolation on the costs given in Francesetti & Foschi (2002). The available shipsizes for both the main and feeder services can be found in Tables A.6 and A.7. In thisstudy, it is assumed that an unlimited number of feeder ships is available.

Speed

From Notteboom (2006) it is learned that the speed of container vessels varies between18 and 26 nautical miles per hour. Therefore, this range of speeds is also considered inthis study. Furthermore, it is assumed that the speed can each time be increased by 0.5nm per hour. Thus, seventeen different values for liner shipping vessels are considered inthis study.

Further, it is assumed that feeder ships sail at a constant speed. This speed is assumedto be 22 nautical miles per hour.

Capital and operating cost

In Francesett & Foschi (2002), the yearly capital costs are given by 10% of the purchaseprice of the ship. The factor of 10% is the amortization factor. The purchase prices aregiven for ships with different ship sizes. The purchase price of the ships considered in thisstudy, that are not given in Francesetti & Foschi (2002) are determined by extrapolation.

The operating costs are defined as 5% of the purchase price of the ship plus 1.5 timesthe number of crew members times the average yearly wage of the crew. The crew size ismultiplied by 1.5 to take illness and holidays into account. The factor 5% of the purchase

price of the ship is used to take cost of maintenance, repairs, etcetera into account. Onaverage, 18 crew members with an average yearly wage of about $50, 000 are present ona ship. The average yearly wage is obtained by correcting the yearly wage of Fraccesetti& Foschi (2002) for inflation.

An overview on the yearly capital and operating costs per ship size can be found inTables A.6 and A.7.

Fuel cost

The fuel consumption in ton per day is given for the different ship sizes in Francesetti& Foschi (2002) for a speed of 25 nm per hour. When this amount is divided by thedistance travelled per day, the fuel consumption in ton per nautical mile is obtained.Thereafter, the fuel consumption is multiplied by the oil price in USD/ton to obtain thefuel cost in USD per nautical mile for the different ship sizes. In this study an oil priceof 500 USD per ton is used in the calculations.

In Notteboom (2006) a figure is given that shows the fuel consumption in ton per dayfor different values of the sailing speed for a ship with capacity of almost 8500 TEU. Therelation between fuel consumption and sailing speed will be about the same for differentship sizes. Therefore, this figure can be used to determine factors that indicate how muchoil is consumed at different sailing speeds. Finally, these factors can be used to determinethe fuel cost in USD per nautical mile for the other sailing speeds of the considered ships.

In Table A.8 an overview of the fuel cost for the different liner ship sizes and sailingspeeds is given. The fuel costs for feeder ships are obtained in a similar way and are givenin Table A.7.

Port, (un)loading and transhipment cost

The port, (un)loading and transhipment cost are obtained from Lachner & Boskamp(2011). Port costs are incurred per port visit and usually vary between ports. Further-more, the port costs may depend on the ship size. However, the differences in port costsare relatively small, so they are assumed to be constant per route type. In this study,ships are charged 25,000 USD per port visit on a main route and 15,000 USD per port visiton a feeder route. Thus, when a port is visited on a main route 52 · 25, 000 = 1, 300, 000

USD is charged, because each route is performed once a week. For feeder routes, the portcost per year equals 52 · 15, 000 = 780, 000 USD.

(Un)loading and transhipment costs are incurred per TEU (un)loaded or transhippedin a port. These costs can differ between ports and for different ship sizes. However, it isagain assumed that these costs are constant per route type. The cost of (un)loading is 175USD per TEU on main routes and 125 USD per TEU on feeder routes. A transhipmentconsist of a unloading and a loading movement, so the cost of a transhipment is 2 · 175 =

350 USD on main routes. Because each port (except the cluster centers) are only visited onone feeder route and no demand exists between ports in the same cluster, no transhipmentswill take place on feeder routes.

Port and buffer time

The time a ship spends in a port depends on many factors like the number of containersthat have to be (un)loaded, the number of cranes available to (un)load, the arrival time,etcetera. However, these factors are uncertain, so it is difficult to determine these times.Therefore, port times are assumed to be constant. The data on these times are obtainedfrom Lachner & Boskamp (2011). In this study, it is assumed that a ship spends 20 hourin a port on a main route and 15 hours in a port on a feeder route.

The buffer time is an additional time that is added to the route time to cover delays.The causes of delays can be divided in four groups: terminal operations, port access,maritime passages and chance (Notteboom (2006)). Chance includes weather conditionsand mechanical problems. In this study, a buffer time of at least 2 days has to be allocatedto each main route. The buffer time on feeder routes is assumed to be 1 day.

Appendix E. Solution approach

In this section, some solution methods are discussed in more detail.

Appendix E.1. Aggregation

First, we will describe the methods used to aggregate ports into port clusters. Thereto,we will first create lists of central, noncentral and intermediary ports. Thereafter, initialclusters will be designed, which are updated in the next step. After this step, the finalclusters are known and the cluster data have to be constructed.

Appendix E.1.1. Lists of central, noncentral and intermediary ports

First, construct the lists of central, noncentral and intermediary ports:

Hc := {h ∈ H : xh ≥ Mx̄} central ports.

Hnc := {h ∈ H : xh ≤ mx̄} noncentral ports.

Hm := {h ∈ H : h /∈ Hc ∪Hnc} intermediary ports.

In this definitions, H is the set containing all ports, m and M are the minimum andmaximum factor respectively. In our case study, we used m = 0.2 and M = 2. Further,when da,b is the demand from port a to port b, we have:

xh =∑h′∈H

dh,h′ +∑h′∈H

dh′,h throughput of port h;

x̄ =1

|H|∑h∈H

xh average throughput per port.

Appendix E.1.2. Initial clusters

Next, we create initial clusters. For each hi ∈ Hc, create a new cluster Ci := {hi}(with i = 1, . . . , |Hc|) only containing port hi and the central port of the cluster is ci = hi.

Let I denote the number of clusters. Then, we have I = |Hc| initial clusters all containingexactly one port. Next, we will add intermediary and noncentral ports to the nearestexisting cluster if they are within the maximum cluster distance. We will only comparethe distance between the considered port and the central port of the cluster with themaximum cluster distance, because this distance has to be covered on the feeder lines.Thus, it is possible that the distance between two ports in the same cluster exceeds themaximum cluster distance, but these ports will then not be visited on the same feederservice. Thus, for each h ∈ Hnc ∪Hm, we will have

Ci = Ci ∪ {h} if Dh,ci = min1≤j≤I

Dh,cj ≤ Dmax

Ci = Ci else,

18

Page 19: Online supplement to ‘Methods for strategic liner shipping … · 2017. 6. 27. · Online supplement to ‘Methods for strategic liner shipping network design’ Judith Muldera,∗,

where Da,b is the distance between port a and b and Dmax the maximum distance allowedbetween ports in a cluster. In our case study we used Dmax = 1250 nm, such that directfeeder lines between a port in the cluster and the central port of the cluster can alwaysbe served within one week.

Appendix E.1.3. Update clusters

Let

Ha := {h ∈ Hnc ∪Hm : h ∈ ∪iCi} allocated ports.

Hmna := {h ∈ Hm : h /∈ ∪iCi} nonallocated intermediary ports.

Hncna := {h ∈ Hnc : h /∈ ∪iCi} nonallocated noncentral ports.

As long as Hmna ̸= ∅, take port h ∈ Hm

na with the largest throughput (xh = maxh′∈Hmnaxh′).

Create a new cluster, I = I + 1 and CI = {h}, cI = h. Add intermediary and noncentralports to the new cluster if they are nearest to this cluster and their distance is within themaximum distance allowed. That is, for each h ∈ Hnc ∪Hm, we will have

CI = CI ∪ {h} if Dh,cI = minj≤I

Dh,cj ≤ M

CI = CI else,

where Da,b is again the distance between port a and b and M the maximum distanceallowed between ports in a cluster. For all port h ∈ CI check whether they were alreadyallocated to a cluster, that is check whether

h ∈ ∪1≤i≤I−1Ci.

If the port was already allocated to a cluster, remove it from the cluster, so if h ∈ Cj with1 ≤ j ≤ I − 1, then let Cj = Cj \ {h}. Update the sets with allocated and nonallocatedports and repeat this procedure until Hm

na = ∅.If Hnc

na ̸= ∅, then determine for each h ∈ Hncna to which cluster it is closest and add it

to this cluster:

Ci = Ci ∪ {h} if Dh,ci = min1≤j≤I

Dh,cj ≤ M

Ci = Ci else.

The clusters Ci for 1 ≤ i ≤ I are the final clusters that will be used as input for the cargorouting model. It only remains to determine the relevant port cluster data, which will beexplained in the next section.

Appendix E.1.4. Determine cluster data

To determine the profitability of a given network, the demand, distance and revenuebetween port pairs are needed. Furthermore, the (un)loading, transhipment and visitcosts are needed for each port, as is the time of a port visit. The distance, costs and porttime of a cluster are all incurred in the central port of the cluster, so we set:

DCi,Cj= Dci,cj 1 ≤ i, j ≤ I;

cCi= cci 1 ≤ i ≤ I;

tCi= tci 1 ≤ i ≤ I,

where Da,b is the distance between port/cluster a and b, ca denote the relevant costs ofport/cluster a and ta is the port time of port/cluster a. Furthermore, Ci denotes cluster i,while ci is the central port of cluster i. Since it is not possible to determine the origin anddestination port of a cargo flow between clusters when solving the cargo routing model,we let the revenue between port pairs be equal to the revenue between the central portsof the relevant clusters. That is, we let:

rCi,Cj= rci,cj 1 ≤ i, j ≤ I.

The demand between clusters depend on the demand between the ports in the clusters.Cluster demand equals the sum of all individual port demands in the cluster:

dCi,Cj=

∑h∈Ci

∑h′∈Cj

dh,h′ 1 ≤ i, j ≤ I,

with da,b the demand between ports/clusters a and b.

Appendix E.2. Disaggregation

In practice, it is necessary to know the exact origin and destination port of each cargoflow. Therefore, the cargo flows between port clusters have to be disaggregated into cargoflows between ports. This section will describe the method to obtain these disaggregatedflows.

The disaggregation process can be performed for each combination of port clustersseparately. Thus, select two port clusters Ci and Cj and the corresponding total flow overthe network

f =∑s∈S

xtotCi,Cj ,s

.

So, the total cargo flow from cluster Ci to cluster Cj over the network is equal to f. Now,we want to determine the origin and destination ports of the flow. Repeat the followinguntil f = 0. Select the combination (h, h′) with h ∈ Ci and h′ ∈ Cj with the largest

20

Page 21: Online supplement to ‘Methods for strategic liner shipping … · 2017. 6. 27. · Online supplement to ‘Methods for strategic liner shipping network design’ Judith Muldera,∗,

expected revenue. Now, allocate as much flow as possible to the combination (h, h′), so

fh,h′ = min(dh,h′ , f),

where dh,h′ is the demand between port h and h′ and fh,h′ is the allocated flow from porth to port h′. Update the flow to be allocated:

f = f − fh,h′ .

Appendix E.3. Feeder network

In the disaggregation phase, cargo flows between ports are determined. We will usefeeder services to ship the cargo from and to ports in the cluster. After an initial feedernetwork is constructed, some methods are described to improve the network. Thesemethods include reallocating demand in order to reduce the capacity on the feeder lines,exchanging ports between feeder lines and adding ports to the main route network. Inthis section, a description of these methods will be given.

Appendix E.3.1. Initial feeder network

In first instance, for each port in the cluster (except the central port) a direct feederservice is constructed between this port and the central port of the cluster. Let FC beset of feeder services in cluster C, then

FC := {(c, h, c) : h ∈ C \ {c}} initial feeder network of cluster C,

where c is the central port of cluster C. The capacity of a line F ∈ FC is given by

bf = min {b ∈ B : b ≥ max(fc,h, fh,c)} .

Appendix E.3.2. Reduce feeder capacity

The method to reduce the capacity is performed for each cluster separately. Therefore,we describe the method for a given cluster C. In the algorithm, we will determine andstore the difference in profit of reducing the feeder capacity for each feeder service in thecluster separately. Thus, we select one by one the feeder services in the cluster.

Flow over legs.Let F be the selected feeder line. For this service, we first determine the flow on each legof the feeder line. Let the legs of the line be given by l1, . . . , ln, where n is the number oflegs of the service and let the feeder route be given by p1, . . . , pn, p1 (leg l1 corresponds tothe leg between ports p1 and p2). Furthermore, let

f opi=

∑h∈H

fpi,h

21

Page 22: Online supplement to ‘Methods for strategic liner shipping … · 2017. 6. 27. · Online supplement to ‘Methods for strategic liner shipping network design’ Judith Muldera,∗,

be the total flow with origin port pi and

fdpi=

∑h∈H

fh,pi

be the total flow with destination port pi Then, the flow on leg 1 ≤ i ≤ n is given by

fli =∑j>i

fdpj+∑j≤i

f opj.

Reduce capacity.Let bc be the current capacity of the feeder service and bn the capacity when we reducethis capacity by one size. Then, the reduction needed on leg li is equal to

yli = max(fli − bn, 0).

That is, we only need to reduce the flow over a leg if it is currently larger than the newcapacity of the service.

Valid combinations to exchange demand.The flow over a leg can be reduced by changing the origin and/or destination port of acargo flow. Since cargo flows between ports are obtained from cargo flows between clusters,there are multiple feasible allocations of the flow to the port pairs. We determine the portcombinations between which cargo flows can be exchanged in order to reduce the flowover F.

Lo := {((h1, h2), (h3, h2)) : h1 ∈ F, h2 /∈ C, h3 ∈ C \ F} combinations with origin in C.

Ld := {((h1, h2), (h1, h3)) : h1 /∈ C, h2 ∈ F, h3 ∈ C \ F} combinations with destination in C.

L := Lo ∪ Ld valid port combinations.

The set L consists of all valid combinations of port pairs between which cargo can beexchanged to reduce the cargo flow on feeder line F. If ((h1, h2), (h3, h4)) ∈ L, then thecargo flow over F can be reduced by increasing the satisfied demand between ports h3

and h4 and at the same time reducing the demand between ports h1 and h2 with the sameamount. In this way, the total demand satisfied between clusters does not change as longas ports h1 and h3 belong to the same cluster and ports h2 and h4 belong to the samecluster. Furthermore, we only want to change the flow over the feeder network in clusterC, so we will add the restriction that the port that does not belong to C is not allowedto be changed. In Lo the origin port belongs to C and thus we see that the destinationport in both port pairs is the same (namely h2) and, similarly, for Ld the origin port (h1)is the same for both pairs. Furthermore, we want to reduce the cargo flow over line F, sowe do not want to shift cargo from one leg of service F to another leg. Therefore, we add

22

Page 23: Online supplement to ‘Methods for strategic liner shipping … · 2017. 6. 27. · Online supplement to ‘Methods for strategic liner shipping network design’ Judith Muldera,∗,

the restriction that the new port in cluster C is not allowed to be on line F. Thus, porth3 in the definition of both Lo and Ld is an element of C \ F (all ports in C that are notvisited on line F ).

Exchange demand between port pairs.For each combination ((h1, h2), (h3, h4)) of port pairs in L, the revenue decrease per unitof exchanging cargo from the first demand pair to the second is given by rh1,h2 − rh3,h4 ,

where ra,b denotes the revenue of satisfying one unit of demand from port a to port b.

Select the combination with the lowest decrease in revenue. We want to exchange asmuch cargo as possible from the first port pair to the second pair. Clearly, the maximumamount that can be exchanged is bounded by the amount of cargo that is currentlytransported between the first port pair and the unsatisfied demand between the new portpair. Furthermore, it is bounded by the free capacity of the feeder line over which thenew flow has to be transported.

Let po denote the port in C of the first port pair, pn the port in C of the secondport pair and p′ the port not in C that is part of both port pairs. Furthermore, let Da,b

and Dsata,b be the demand and satisfied demand between ports a and b respectively. The

demand to be exchanged is bounded by

Dexd =

{min(Dsat

p′,po , Dp′,pn −Dsatp′,pn) if p′ is the origin port,

min(Dsatpo,p′ , Dpn,p′ −Dsat

pn,p′) if p′ is the destination port.

Exchanging demand will also change the flow on the feeder lines containing po and pn,

but only the flow on the new feeder line is relevant in this case, because this flow will beincreased. Let Fn be the new feeder service. The definition of L guarantees that Fn ̸= F.

If p′ is the origin ports of the pairs, then the flow between the port pairs will be on thefeeder line for all legs before port pn, while it will be on the feeder line for all legs afterport pn if p′ is the destination ports Let pn be the k-th port of feeder line Fn and let n

the length of the feeder line. Furthermore, let fnli

be the flow on feeder line Fn over leg li.

Then, the amount of cargo that can at most be exchanged is bounded by

Dexf =

min1≤i<k

bFn − fnli

if p′ is the origin port,

mink≤i≤n

bFn − fnli

if p′ is the destination port.

Thus, the maximum amount of cargo that can be exchanged between the combinationsof port pairs is given by:

Dex = min(Dexd , Dex

f ).

The flow over the feeder services has to be updated when we exchange this amount.

23

Page 24: Online supplement to ‘Methods for strategic liner shipping … · 2017. 6. 27. · Online supplement to ‘Methods for strategic liner shipping network design’ Judith Muldera,∗,

Thereto,

f oli=

{f oli−Dex 1 ≤ i < j if p′ is the origin port,

f oli−Dex j ≤ i ≤ m if p′ is the destination port,

where port po is the j-th port on feeder line F and f oli

is the flow over leg li of feeder lineF and m is the length of feeder service F. Similarly,

fnli=

{fnli+Dex 1 ≤ i < j if p′ is the origin port,

fnli+Dex j ≤ i ≤ m if p′ is the destination port.

The costs of exchanging the demand is given by:

Cex = Cex +

{(rp′,po − rp′,pn + chpn − chpo)D

ex if p′ is the origin port,

(rpo,p′ − rpn,p′ + chpn − chpo)Dex if p′ is the destination port,

where chp is the handling cost per unit in port p and Cex is initialized at 0 each time weconsider a new feeder service F.

Next, we can update the reduction needed on each leg and repeat this procedure untileither all valid combinations of port pairs are considered or the reduction needed equalszero on each leg. If the capacity of the feeder service can be reduced (the reduction neededequals zero for each leg of the service), then the profit is given by

P ex = ccbc + cfbc − (ccbn + cfbn)− Cex,

where ccb is the capital and operating costs on the feeder line F when a ship with capacityb is used and cfb is the fuel costs on F for a ship with capacity b.

Appendix E.3.3. Exchange port between feeder services

Next, we describe the method to exchange a port between two feeder services. Thecargo allocation is not changed in this method, so we can consider the different clustersseparately. Thereto, we first select a cluster C. For each combination of two feeder linesin cluster C and each port on the first feeder line, we will consider the increase in profitwhen we exchange this port from the first service to the second service. Thus, we selecttwo feeder service F1 and F2 in C. Furthermore, let q be a noncentral port on feeder lineF1. Then, we will determine at which location it is most profitable to add port q to lineF2 and how large the profit increase is.

Let (p, p′) be a consecutive port combination on feeder service F2. First, determine thecost of the feeder services F1 and F2 as they are before we exchange a port:

Cold = ccbf1+ cfbf1

+ ccbf2+ cfbf2

,

24

Page 25: Online supplement to ‘Methods for strategic liner shipping … · 2017. 6. 27. · Online supplement to ‘Methods for strategic liner shipping network design’ Judith Muldera,∗,

where bf1 and bf2 are the capacities of F1 and F2 respectively and ccb and cfb are the capitaland operating and fuel costs for a ship with capacity b respectively.

Let q now be visited in between ports p and p′ on feeder service F2, that is, removeleg (p, p′) from F2 and add legs (p, q) and (q, p′) to F2. Since q will now be visited on lineF2, we remove it from line F1. The method described in Section Appendix E.3.2 can beused to determine the new flows on the feeder services F1 and F2, because the satisfieddemand between port pairs is known. When the flow over each leg is known, the capacityof the feeder service can be determined by:

bf = min

{b ∈ B : b ≥ max

where the feeder service is given by l1, . . . , ln.

The costs of the feeder services F1 and F2 after exchanging port q can again be calcu-lated by:

Cnew = ccbf1+ cfbf1

+ ccbf2+ cfbf2

,

where bf1 and bf2 are now the new capacities on the feeder lines. The increase in profit isgiven by:

P q = Cold − Cnew.

Repeat this procedure until all consecutive port combinations on F2 are considered. Then,repeat until all noncentral ports on F1 are considered.

Appendix E.3.4. Add ports to main routes

In the aggregation phase, we decided to create port clusters in order to reduce thecomputation time of the cargo-routing model. Central ports of the clusters are visitedon the main route network, while all other ports are currently only visited on the feedernetwork. However, it might be profitable to visit some of those ports on the main network.Ports are clustered based on distance to the central port, so if the central port is visited ona main route, the additional distance that has to be sailed in order to include a noncentralport to the main route will in general be quite small. In this section, we describe a methodto add noncentral ports to the main routes.

First, select a main route R and determine the clusters C1, . . . , Cn that are visited onR. If a cluster is visited twice on a route, we consider it to be two different clusters. So,a distinction is made between the cluster when it is visited on the eastbound part of theroute and the cluster when it is visited on the westbound part of the route. So, eachcluster that is visited on a route is unique for the route. Consider a cluster C on routeR and let q be a port that belongs to cluster C and is not yet visited on route R, thatis, q ∈ C \ R. Let (p, p′) be a consecutive port combination on main route R, satisfying

p ∈ C and/or p′ ∈ C. Furthermore, let F be the feeder service on which port q is currentlyvisited (q ∈ F ).

Cargo reallocation.Let q now be visited in between ports p and p′ on main route R′, that is, let R′ = R

and remove leg (p, p′) from R′ and add legs (p, q) and (q, p′) to R′. Since it is probablynot feasible to (un)load all cargo from/to port q on route R (some cargo might be on adifferent route, or the ship capacity will not suffice to transport all cargo directly via routeR), we cannot remove port q from the feeder line F . We want to reallocate as much cargoas possible from feeder service F to main route R, because the handling and transhipmentcosts will be reduced in this way. The amount of cargo that can be reallocated is firstof all restricted by the total amount of cargo from/to port q that is present on the ship.Furthermore, it depends on the unused capacity of the ship on the additional legs. Todetermine how much cargo can be reallocated according to the unused capacity of theship, first the position of the inserted port q with respect to the center of the cluster hasto be determined.

Two situations can be distinguished: the central port of the cluster is already visitedwhen port q is visited on the main route, or the central port of the cluster has still to bevisited when port q is visited. Figure E.1 shows the two possibilities. In the figures, onlythe central ports of the clusters and port q are considered, but all conclusions that willbe drawn, will also hold when more ports are on the route.

Now, consider the left figure, where port q belongs to cluster C and is visited afterthe central port of the cluster. In the original route, the ship visits first the central port cof cluster C and directly thereafter the central port c′ of the cluster C ′. Thus, the cargoflows from and to port q are (un)loaded in c. Now, let fc,c′ be the flow from port c to portc′. The cargo flow with destination port q will be unloaded in port c, so this flow is notincluded in flow fc,c′ . On the other hand, the cargo flow with origin port q is included inflow fc,c′ , because it is loaded in port c.

When port q is added to the main route after the central port c in the cluster, flows fc,qand fq,c′ have to be determined. The difference with the original situation is that the cargoflow from and to port q is now (un)loaded in port q instead of in port c. Thus, the cargoflow to port q is included in flow fc,q, while the flow from port q is not included. Combiningthis with the flows included in flow fc,c′ , it can be seen that fc,q = fc,c′ − qoutf + qinf , whereqinf is the amount of cargo flow unloaded in port q (flow with port q as destination) andqoutf is the amount of cargo flow loaded in port q (flow with origin port q). In flow fq,c′ thecargo flow to port q is not included, where the flow from port q is included, so it holdsthat fq,c′ = fc,c′ . Thus, qoutf is not included in fc,q and included in both fc,c′ and fq,c′ , soall cargo with origin port q on ship route R can be loaded in port q, without exceeding

the capacity of the ship. However, the amount of cargo that can be unloaded in port q isbounded by qinf ≤ bR − fc,c′ + qoutf , since this cargo is included in the new flow fc,q but notin the old flow fc,c′ .

The other situation is shown in the right figure. In this case, port q belonging tocluster C is visited before the central port c of the cluster. The flow on the initial routebetween central ports c′ and c is denoted by fc′,c. In this case, the flow to port q is includedin flow fc′,c, while the flow from port q is not included, because it will be loaded in thecentral port c of cluster C. Now, consider flow fc′,q between central port c′ and port q.

In this flow, the cargo flow to port q is included and the cargo flow from port q is notincluded. Thus, in this case fc′,q = fc′,c. The cargo flow to port q is now unloaded in portq, so this flow is not included in fq,c. However, the flow from port q is already loaded inport q, so is included in fq,c. Together with the flows included in fc′,c, it can be found thatfq,c = fc′c − qinf + qoutf , where qinf and qoutf have the same definitions as above. Now, allcargo to port q can be unloaded without exceeding the capacity of the ship when sailingto port q, but the amount of flow that is loaded is bounded by qout ≤ bR−fc′,c+ qinf , sincethis cargo is included in the new flow fq,c but not in the old flow fc′,c.

The amounts of flow (un)loaded in port q are equal to

qout = min(qoutf , qouts )

andqin = min(qinf , qins ),

where qouts and qins are the amounts of cargo present on the ship on route R with port q

respectively as origin and destination port. Thereafter, the new flows can be determinedusing the formulas for fa,b given above. Furthermore, qin and qout can be used to updatethe flows on the feeder service visiting port q by subtracting the flows from the legs overwhich it should be transported. When no flows are loaded and unloaded anymore in portq on the feeder service, the port can be deleted from the feeder service.

Cost reduction.Which costs incurred at the main and feeder network are relevant in this method depend onwhere in the solution algorithm this procedure is executed. When the methods to reducethe feeder network are not yet performed, only the handling costs on the feeder networkare considered to be relevant. However, when these methods are already performed alsothe capital, operating, fuel and port costs of the feeder network are relevant. The handling,port, capital, operating and fuel costs of the main network are relevant in both cases.

The route costs crR and crR′ consisting of the capital, operating, port visit and fuel costsof the main routes R and R′ can be obtained from the method to determine the optimalspeed, which is described in Section 3.2.2. The new capacity needed on the feeder route canbe obtained from the method described in Section Appendix E.3.2. Thereafter, the newroute costs of the feeder route can easily be computed by adding the capital, operating,port visit and fuel costs, because the route duration and speed are fixed. Furthermore,the difference in handling costs can be obtained using qin and qout.

After the cost reduction is determined, repeat this procedure for a new consecutiveport combination (p, p′) on route R with p ∈ C and/or p′ ∈ C until as long as they arenot all considered yet. Next, repeat until all noncentral ports q ∈ C \R are considered, allclusters C ∈ R are considered and finally until all routes R are considered. Then, add theport for which the cost reduction is largest to the main route and at the location wherethis cost reduction will be obtained. This method is repeated until no cost reduction canbe obtained anymore by adding a port to a main route.
