Operation platform design for modular adaptable ships: Towards the configure-to-order strategy

Modular adaptable ships have received growing attention in recent decades as a promising approach to handling uncertainty in future operating contexts. A modular adaptable ship can be used for multiple purposes by changing its module configuration. This configuration change is based on the ship's operation platform, which is used as a common basis for multiple module configurations. The design of an operation platform is a multi-objective...
