Patent Images
1. A system for generating a schedule for delivery of products via an ocean-going vessel, the system comprising:
- a server for receiving a schedule request and one or more constraints for scheduling one or more vessels; and
an optimization engine in communication with the server, the optimization engine for generating a schedule based at least in part on the one or more constraints using a beam search algorithm.

Abstract
A system, computer-implemented method, and software for automatically planning and scheduling ocean-going vessels for oil distribution is provided. The scheduling of the vessels is based on a filtered beam search and greedy heuristic. A server can be used for receiving a schedule request and one or more constraints for scheduling one or more vessels from one or more users. An optimization engine can be used for generating a schedule based at least in part on the one or more constraints using a beam search algorithm.
