Abstract

This paper formulates the 3D Stochastic Stowage Plan-ning (3D SSP) problem. The key objective of 3D SSP is to minimize the number of container movements and maximize the ship´s stability considering multiple scenar-ios. The binary formulation of this problem is described and an alternative formulation, called Representation by Rules, is combined with a Genetic Algorithm and a Par-ticipatory Learning System. The robustness of the devel-oped framework is verified in a problem for which the corresponding binary representation demands 405,450,000 variables.
