Geography Sets the Tone to Tramp Routing

The paper compares contemporary routing and scheduling, as promoted by decision sciences (DS), with the emergence of operational areas from trade flows and corollary rate levels, which are both typical geographical issues. DS handle well-structured regional problems from a one-to-three-month perspective with formal models that are supported by detailed data, and offer tangible answers for practical use. Geography also prepares quarterly and longer itineraries, subject to cargo availability, but with this being at a global scale between regions rather than ports, is more descriptive than analytical, and acknowledges data shortcomings with ensuing vagueness in results.
