Paper doi abstract bibtex

This paper introduces a bi-objective model for the offshore supply vessel planning problem (SVPP) in the oil & gas industry. The SVPP consists of determining a new weekly plan for sailing the platform supply vessels whenever the sailing plan needs revising due to some major events, such as the arrival or re- moval of drilling rigs, and demand increase or reduction in the current platforms. Apart from remaining cost-efficient, the new weekly plan is required to be persistent , i.e., exhibiting few changes from the pre- vious plan. To achieve this, we propose a bi-objective optimization framework that enables the planners to simultaneously take into account both costs and persistence-related objectives. The framework encom- passes a bi-objective SVPP model and a genetic search algorithm adapted from Borthen et al. (2018). We show that the proposed algorithm is able to provide high-quality solutions in reasonable time and has the decision support capability in real offshore operation planning.
