Forecasting and decision-making for empty container repositioning

open access: yes, 2023
Containerized shipping serves as the backbone of our interconnected global economy, enabling low-cost and secure trade of goods between importers and exporters across long distances. Each containerized trade journey begins with exporters loading freight into empty containers, which are provided by a shipping company.
