Does VRPy support the CVRP with simultaneous distribution and collection but with the additional specification that there are multiple kinds of goods that need to be delivered. Trucks have a set number of compartments where each compartment can hold a single "class" of good with a set limit on the capacity of each compartment. Trucks will drop off the goods one node demands while simulatenously being able to pick up what they need for the next node.

The intent is to solve shipping lanes where each island has a different ammount of surplus and deficit for each type of good and the goal is to resolve all the discrepancies with the smallest ammount of ships.
