ISSN 1541-1672. 20:4, p. 50-571541-1672http://hdl.handle.net/10198/8560The GRMODGRASP, a new algorithm for the container-loading problem (CLP) based on the greedy randomized adaptive search procedure (GRASP) approach, is discussed. Based on a wall-building, constructive heuristic, it can achieve high levels of cargo stability without compromising the container's volume use. The algorithm builds a solution, and then it improves the solution with a local-search algorithm. If it finds a better solution, this new solution replaces the old and a new neighborhood is built around it. The algorithm uses a first better strategy when more than one better solution existsengCargo stabilityContainer-loading problem (CLP)Greedy randomized adaptive search procedure (GRASP)Local-search algorithmsjournal article10.1109/MIS.2005.57
