Abstract:When container traffic volume increases rapidly, the imbalance between supply and demand of containers is increasingly outstanding, and reasonable allocation of empty containers needs to be carried into execution. This paper proposes an optimization model for container shipping network based on the analysis of composite cost. The model regards the minimum total cost of network as its target, and synchronously optimizes the container shipping network, which includes route allocation, scheme of empty containers allocation and transportation, service frequency and vessel size of containership. Finally, the results show that the model possesses of practicality and maneuverability after application to a calculation case, which provides theoretical support to improve enterprise management model, reduce administration cost and increases benefits for shipping companies.
