Abstract
In this research, the container stowage for multiple destinations is investigated. Due to the competitiveness in transportation industries, business owners/managers seek to minimize operating costs and expenses in order to gain competitive advantages in the market. A modified genetic algorithm for solving this particular problem is proposed and subsequently called the Split Genetic Algorithm (SGA). It is an alternative way for sorting the containers by destination to keep the ship balanced without re-handling after unloading containers at each destination. The authors have developed a computer program custom made for the problem using the proposed algorithm.
