Abstract: Abstract In this paper, we study the problem of locating hydrogen fueling stations for zero-emission aquaculture vessels in Norway in the area of Lofoten and Vesterålen. We model the problem as location-routing problem considering both the location of hydrogen fueling stations and the routing of aquaculture vessels. The objective is to minimize the total costs while satisfying customers demand. The costs consist of investment costs in fueling stations and fuel costs related to the energy usage of the aquaculture vessels. We formulate the problem as an open route model with energy constraints considering vessels with limited range. A route is defined from an open fueling station to an open fueling station and each vessel can serve at most one route. We further conduct a sensitivity analysis on a vessel range. The computational results show that a longer range does not necessarily lead to a lower number of opened fueling stations. However, it leads to structurally different solutions with lower fuel costs and hence lower total costs.
