Abstract: Abstract Routing and scheduling of public transport vehicles and other commercial vehicles is one of the most extensively studied areas in the operations research literature. Such problems include airline scheduling, scheduling of passenger and freight trains, transit bus routing and scheduling, and a variety of other vehicle routing problems. The routing and scheduling of passenger ferries is yet another problem in this class that received relatively little attention. In this chapter we discuss two integer programming models for finding optimal routes and schedules for the ferries so that the travel demands emanating at the ports at different periods of the planning horizon are satisfied while operating costs and passenger dissatisfaction are kept at a minimum.
