  • Abstract
    In this paper, we present two General Variable Neighborhood Search for the Traveling Salesman Problem with Draft Limits (TSPDL), a recent variant of the Traveling Salesman Problem. TSPDL arises in the context of maritime transportation. It consists of finding optimal Hamiltonian tour for a given ship which has to visit and deliver products to a set of ports while respecting the draft limit constraints. The proposed methods are tested on a set of benchmarks from the literature and computational experiments show their efficiency.
