This paper presents a detailed description of a particular class of deterministic single product Maritime Inventory Routing Problems (MIRPs), which we call deep-sea MIRPs with inventory tracking at every port. This class involves vessel travel times between ports that are significantly longer...

In problems involving the simultaneous optimization of production and transportation, the requirement that an order can only be shipped once its production has been completed is a natural one. One example is a problem of optimizing shipping costs subject to a production capacity constraint...
