Revolutionising Launch Boat Scheduling with Big Data and AI
One of the key challenges in the maritime industry is the scheduling of the launch boat to provide the services for ships in the port. The current scheduling follows the ‘one-trip-per-booking’ practice, which means one launch boat will be assigned to one booking that transports passenger(s) to the specific destination. However, this traditional method does not fully utilise the capacity of the launch boat. The ideal scheduling is to consolidate multiple service bookings into one launch boat which travels to multiple destinations within one trip.
