This work addressed a fleet scheduling problem present in the offshore oil industry. Among the special purpose services one will find the pipe layer activities and its connection to the subsea infrastructure, accomplished by the Pipe Layer Vessels (PLV). The jobs are characterized by a release date, which reflects the expected arrival date of the necessary material at the port. There are compatibility constraints between job and vessel, so that some vessels may not be able to perform a certain job; the duration of the jobs can be differentiated by vessel and if a job is finished after its due date, a penalty is incurred. This is a variation of the unrelated parallel machine problem with total weighted tardiness objective function. This research employed a metaheuristic GRASP with Path Relinking, which have proved to be competitive and an effective solution strategy. This method was implemented in a multi-threading scheme allowing multiple paths to be explored simultaneously. Computational experiments were conducted, comparing solutions with bounds provided by linear column generation.
