The container shipping network design problem with empty container repositioning
This paper addresses the design of container liner shipping service networks by explicitly taking into account empty container repositioning. Two key and interrelated issues, those of deploying ships and containers are usually treated separately by most existing studies on shipping network design. In this paper, both issues are considered simultaneously. The problem is formulated as a two-stage...
متن کاملNew MIP Models for Liner Shipping Route Design with Empty Container Repositioning
This paper addresses the problem of optimal planning of a line for a container shipping company. Given estimated weekly splittable demands between pairs of ports and bounds for the turnaround time, our goal is to determine the subset of ports to be called and the amount of containers to be shipped between each pair of ports, so as to maximize the profit of the shipping company. In order to save...
متن کاملOptimization of Inland Container Transportation with and without Container Sharing
In this contribution we optimize the transportation of containers in the hinterland of a local area with one terminal and one depot for empty containers and trucks. There are several customers who want to receive goods by inbound containers and several customers who want to ship goods by outbound containers. Additionally, there are empty inbound containers and empty outbound containers. We pres...
متن کاملInvestigating Strategic Alternatives for Improving Service in an Inland Waterway Transportation System
A series of five locks form a transportation bottleneck in the upper Mississippi River navigation system. With optimizing models, statistical modeling and computer simulation, the authors explore the effects of alternative scheduling regimes and infrastructure changes to improve performance of an inland waterway transportation system. In this paper, the authors show the value of triangulating a...
متن کاملSample Average Approximation for Stochastic Empty Container Repositioning
To incorporate uncertainties in empty container repositioning problem, we formulate a two-stage stochastic programming model with random demand, supply, ship weight capacity and ship space capacity. The Sample Average Approximation (SAA) method is applied to approximate the expected value function. Several non-independent and identically distributed sampling schemes are considered to enhance th...
