Empty containers repositioning
Proceedings of the 2010 Spring Simulation Multiconference, 2010Since the beginning of containerization, empty containers repositioning has been an on-going issue in the maritime transportation industry. Over the years several research works have been developed in order to face the reposition of empty containers. This paper provides the readers with an accurate overview on methodologies and scientific approaches ...

Regional Repositioning of Empty Containers
Transportation Research Record: Journal of the Transportation Research Board, 2008Regional repositioning of empty containers involves empty container movement between regional importers, marine terminals, depots, and export customers. This chain movement generates unproductive empty vehicle miles in the region. The problem of empty vehicle miles becomes more prominent because empty container depots are located close to the port and

Empty container repositioning in liner shipping1
Maritime Policy & Management, 2009The efficient and effective management of empty containers is an important problem in the shipping industry. Not only does it have an economic effect, but it also has an environmental and sustainability impact, since the reduction of empty container movements will reduce fuel consumption and reduce congestion and emissions.

Foldable and standard containers in empty container repositioning
Transportation Research Part E: Logistics and Transportation Review, 2013Strategies to reposition empty containers are an unabated issue for shipping companies. This study compares the repositioning costs of foldable containers to those of standard containers. Mathematical models are used to minimize the total relevant cost, which includes the folding/unfolding cost, the inventory storage cost, the container purchasing cost,

Multi-Agent Reinforcement Learning for Empty Container Repositioning
2018 IEEE 9th International Conference on Software Engineering and Service Science (ICSESS), 2018Marine logistics is the main mode of transportation for international trade, which uses the container as the carrier. However, the imbalance of global trade development has led to the empty container repositioning (ECR)becoming a key issue for marine logistics.

Repositioning of empty containers using both standard and foldable containers
Maritime Economics & Logistics, 2015Advanced technologies are expected to drive practical applications that can reduce transportation and storage costs via novel space-saving foldable containers. To use them efficiently, shipping companies need a systematic algorithm that will simultaneously reposition foldable containers along with standard ones currently in use.

Repositioning empty containers in East and North China ports [PDF]
Maritime Economics & Logistics, 2012 This study proposes a mathematical model for repositioning containers to ports in East and North China. With specially devised links and nodes, the proposed model can consider the strategies that are deployed commonly by liners. Moreover, the formulated problem can be solved rapidly owing to its underlying multi-commodity network structure.
