Optimization and Simulation Approach for Empty Containers Handling
Container handling problems at the container terminals are NP-hard problems. In this paper, we propose a new handling operation’s design and simulation of empty containers, taking into account the interrelated activities at the container terminal. This simulation have been built using a doubled trailer. It moves containers from quayside to yard side or the opposite depending on the flow in cont...
متن کاملOptimization-Simulation for Maritime Containers Transfer
This paper proposes a simulation model to analyze the handling and the transfer system of containers in Le Havre seaport. The decision variables of simulation are determined by using the CPLEX optimization software. The goal is to determine the least expensive strategy for the transfer of a set of containers between container terminals. The simulation model is developed using an object-oriented...
متن کاملAn optimization model for management of empty containers in distribution network of a logistics company under uncertainty
In transportation via containers, unbalanced movement of loaded containers forces shipping companies to reposition empty containers. This study addresses the problem of empty container repositioning (ECR) in the distribution network of a European logistics company, where some restrictions impose decision making in an uncertain environment. The problem involves dispatching empty contain...
متن کاملSimulation-based Analysis of Handling Inbound Containers in a Terminal
The continuing growth of marine container transport, as well as, the complexity in the analysis of terminal port operations has created an ideal area for applying computer simulation. This paper focuses on the handling of incoming containers transported on trucks in an “All-StraddleCarrier” system. All major processes are reproduced by the simulation model. Input data includes parameters of spa...
متن کاملEmpty Intermodal Containers – A Global Issue
It is estimated that with the global container population approaching 16m TEU, there are some 2.5m TEU or more, of empty boxes currently sitting idle in yards and depots around the world. In the eyes of port operators, shippers and carries, the number of empty boxes sitting at the terminal should ideally be nil or very few. Given the fact that empty boxes have to go somewhere, storage and repai...
