“UBERIZATION” in empty container repositioning – possibilities and challenges
Third International Conference “Transport for Today’s Society “, 2021 Abstract – This paper explores the perspectives and challenges of the most innovative platforms for the purpose of empty container repositioning (ECR) reduction. Cooperation between all stakeholders is of crucial importance for efficient ECR. A last generation of e-marketplaces, related to “uberization”, may provide an additional impetus for ...

Optimization of Empty Container Repositioning in Liner Shipping
Business and Management Horizons, 2020 Empty container repositioning (ECR), which arises due to imbalances in world trade, causes extra costs for the container liner carrier companies. Therefore, one of the main objectives of all liner carriers is to reduce ECR costs. Since ECR decisions involve too many parameters, constraints and variables, the plans based on real-life experiences cannot ...

The container shipping network design problem with empty container repositioning [PDF]
Transportation Research Part E: Logistics and Transportation Review, 2007 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.
