An Approximation Algorithm for the Stowage Stack Minimization with the Zero Re-handle Constraint

Abstract: The zero rehandle problem aims to minimize the number of stacks accommodating all the containers in a multi-port shipment without occurring rehandles. We prove that the uncapacitated ZRP is equivalent to the circle graph and that the itinerary starting port doesn’t affect the problem property. An approximation algorithm with a performance guarantee is proposed to construct solutions for the ZRP, both uncapacitated and capacitated. Moreover, a lower bound of ZRP is provided
