I³-Lab Business Analytics – Optimisation Potentials and Strategic Risks for Maritime Logistics Systems
Within the framework of the project, institutes from different fields work together on questions of business analytics in maritime logistics. The project is thus at the interface of computer science, mathematics, management and logistics and is therefore highly interdisciplinary.

Description
The rapidly increasing amount of available and usable data and the recent increased performance of existing computers enables data analyses and calculations on a scale that was unthinkable just a few years ago. While at present, the immense performance of algorithms is often uncritically accepted, but possible risks are often completely ignored. This opens up new challenges for university teaching and research. Along with digitalization, companies also want and need to adapt corresponding processes and they need new research results in order to implement methods of business analytics in the form of innovative solutions.
The project is mainly dedicated to the application of business analytics in the field of maritime logistic systems, as there is still great potential for optimization. On the other hand, this industry now has huge amounts of data, such as ship movements and weather data. The evaluation of which can enable the development of improved strategies in personnel and fleet deployment or revenue management, and new solutions, for example in autonomously controlled ship traffic.

Abstract: Purpose: This paper discusses the current state of research on tactical planning in tramp shipping problems. The constantly changing demands in operative tramp shipping make tactical or strategical, i.e. longer-term planning, in comparison to op-erative planning more complex. The purpose of this paper is to describe solutions to tactical planning difficulties in tramp shipping and to point out future research direc-tions. Methodology: For this paper, a systematic literature review of journal articles and book chapters of the last ten years is conducted. The findings of this search are ana-lyzed and reviewed. Thus, different planning problems and their solutions are iden-tified. Findings: Planning problems in tramp shipping are clearly distinct from planning problems in liner shipping as tramp shipping is subject to considerably more uncer-tainties. Due to the high degree of uncertainties in tramp shipping longer-term plan-ning is challenging. Consequently, the results of research on tactical planning prob-lems in liner shipping cannot be transferred directly to tramp shipping. Originality: This paper provides a comprehensive overview of strategic and tactical planning in tramp shipping as presented in the literature
