| Abstract | The purpose of this study is to develop a system to automatically generate stowage plan for large containerships. The system consists of three modules: stowage plan generator, stability module and optimization engine. This paper presents the architecture and the work of the first module stowage plan generator, which is used to automatically generate a feasible stowage plan with reasonable crane intensity (CI) and the number of rehandles and ready for the stability checks and adjustments. Our experimental results with real-world containership voyage data show that our system is able to efficiently generate feasible stowage plans comparable to human planners in terms of the number of rehandles and CI, which are crucial to shipping operations. |
