Özet
Although maritime transport is the cheapest transportation mode, the management of ships is very costly. Ship management companies
try to get the minimum cost and highest profit using ships effectively and efficiently. Therefore, they need to carry out shipment planning at
the optimum level. The purpose of this research is to perform the optimum shipment planning of six ships in different sizes and capacities
in a Ro-Ro fleet belonging to a ship management company operating in the Black Sea Region. On the basis of data obtained from the
company that had problems in operating ships in its fleet effectively and efficiently, a model in A Mathematical Programming Language has
been created, and this model has been solved with the GNU Linear Programming Kit, a mixed-integer program solver. Shipment planning
has been conducted within the framework of six ships and a 1-year planning horizon, and profit maximization has been determined as the
objective function.
