Foldable and standard containers in empty container repositioning

Transportation Research Part E: Logistics and Transportation Review, 2013
Strategies 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,

Repositioning of empty containers using both standard and foldable containers

Maritime Economics & Logistics, 2015
Advanced 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.

ON-LINE SCHEDULING OF EMPTY CONTAINERS [PDF]

open access: possibleAsia-Pacific Journal of Operational Research, 2012
This paper considers the empty container repositioning problem in an on-line scheduling setting. This optimization problem arising from container transportation management aims to balance empty containers distribution among transportation sites so as to minimize the total operating cost of loaded container shipping, empty container allocation and ...

Maritime Empty Container Repositioning

International Journal of Strategic Decision Sciences, 2014
Maritime shipping containers are important to a number of different industries as they facilitate the reduction of transportation costs. To address the needs of shippers, empty containers need to be repositioned globally between seaports. Since the cost of empty container repositioning (ECR) constitutes a significant element of the total cost of ...

Empty Container Repositioning

2014
© Springer International Publishing Switzerland 2015.Empty container repositioning (ECR) is one of the most important issues in the liner shipping industry. Not only does it have an economic effect on the stakeholders in the container transport chain, but it also has an environmental and sustainability impact on the society since the reduction of empty
