Determining optimal inland-empty-container depot locations under stochastic demand

Mittal, Neha; Boile, Maria; Baveja, Alok; Theofanis, Sotiris - In: Research in Transportation Economics 42 (2013) 1, pp. 50-60

Maritime freight volumes fluctuate with changes in consumer demand and global economies. In this paper we analyze the stochasticity in the container trade volumes and perform a two-stage stochastic analysis with recourse to determine an optimal set of inland depots to be opened within a 10-year...

Foldable and standard containers in empty container repositioning

Moon, Ilkyeong; Do Ngoc, Anh-Dung; Konings, Rob - In: Transportation Research Part E: Logistics and … 49 (2013) 1, pp. 107-124

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,...
