A Constraint Programming model for fast optimal stowage of container vessel bays

► We study the container stowage problem within subsections of container vessel bays. ► A representative model of the problem is introduced. ► Integer and Constraint Programming approaches to solve these problems are compared. ► We do extensive testing with instances derived from real stowage plans....
