AWG Maritime & Ports Logistics

This group is committed to developing scientific research with practical applications in maritime and port logistics operations. We have two main research avenues:

The first research line is dedicated to planning and scheduling problems to handle cargo and serve incoming vessels, barges, trucks, and rail at ports supported by optimization and data analytics techniques.
The second research line is dedicated to maritime shipping network design decisions, container repositioning, ship routing problems, and port-hinterland or container drayage problems.

The structure of the group considers a representative per country in Iberoamerica, but we are not closed to integrate participants from other countries. At present, we have participants from Chile, Mexico, Colombia, Brazil and Spain. The AWG welcomes any person interested in exploring collaborations in this field, for which you just have to contact the general coordinator or the representative of your country, to be incorporated in an email list and receive information about activities of the group.

Joint EUROMar 2025 & ICCL conference

Joining two conferences and at two universities, in the tradition of the ICCL conference series, ICCL focuses on the theory and applications of operations research, artificial intelligence, and management science to problems in logistics. The EUROMar aims to explore, discuss, and advance all those relevant research areas in the interplay between maritime and port logistics and optimization.
