N2 - In this paper we address the problem of scheduled service network design for container
freight distribution along rivers, canals, and coastlines. We propose a new concise continuous-
time mixed-integer linear programming model that accurately evaluates the time of occurrence
of transportation events and the number of containers transshipped between vehicles. Given the
transportation network, the
eet of available vehicles, the demand and the supply of containers,
the sailing time of vehicles, and the structure of costs, the objective of the model is to build a
minimum cost service network design and container distribution plan that denes services, their
departure and arrival times, as well as vehicle and container routing. The model is solved with a
commercial solver and is tested on data instances inspired from real-world problems encountered
by EU carrier companies. The results of the computational study show that in scheduled service
networks direct routes happen more often when either the
eet capacity is tight or the handling
costs and the lead time interval increase. The increase of the same parameters leads to the
decrease of the number of containers transshipped between vehicles.
