Abstract
A system including one or more processors and one or more non-transitory computer-readable media storing computing instructions that, when executed on the one or more processors perform certain functions: obtaining an input comprising a sequence of service locations; iterating through pairs of consecutive service locations of the service locations to determine when a port for the first service location is different from the port for the second service location; adding the port for the first service location and the port for the second service location; and iterating through hours of service (HOS) states of the offshore route; determining whether to add one or more additional HOS states in the offshore route; and resetting a cumulative drive time to zero for each offshore port-to-port service. Other embodiments are disclosed.
