Summary
SODA is a system by which the schedule of ships in a port can be found in order to minimize the demurrage and operating costs associated with shipping operations. SODA constructs and resolves binary programming models using shipping data (arrival dates, demurrage costs, berths to be used, etc.) and available berths in a planning horizon. The model is of an adjustable precision: major accuracy implies greater calculation time. SODA provides an optimal result to a complex problem in a resolution time which is generally better than that needed for a manual solution.
