Abstract
This research is based on savings coming from combination of water production and better planning of water bunkering in ports. Such operational research (OR) approach is based on better utilization of ship tank capacity in relation to water production on board. The efficient heuristic algorithm for optimal decisions for N different water sources (e.g. production by evaporation, production by reverse osmosis process and bunkering in ports + bottled water) for the ship with limited water tanks capacity is being developed. Mathematical model is developed on the basis of capacity expansion problem, same as the Minimum Cost Multi-Commodity Flow Problem (MCMCF).
