Ocean transportation is the most preferred mode of transportation that represents a significant role in the global trade. Ocean transportation comprises around 80% of the aggregate worldwide cargo volume. This research paper focused on evaluating the factors that influence the dwell time of the...

Seaports are regarded as significant actors in global logistics and supply chains since a large part of the cargoes carried over the globe are being processed there. When the cold chain broken down during transport and storage in the ports, the humidity, nutrition, temperature and time...

Considering the influence of economies of scale and ship capacity on empty container repositioning, using foldable containers and container leasing may be effective ways to save the operating costs of liner shipping companies. Considering the minimization of the transportation costs of empty and...

Since the 1970s, exports and imports of manufactured goods have been the engine of international trade and much of that trade relies on container shipping. This paper introduces a new monthly index of the volume of container trade to and from North America. Incorporating this index into a...

The multi-drop container loading problem (MDCLP) requires loading a truck so that boxes can be unloaded at each drop-off point without rearranging other boxes to deliver later. However, modeling such unloading constraints as hard constraints, as done in the literature, considerably limits the...

In recent years, an innovative eco-designed container (replace type) has been developed with expectation of further reducing plastic consumption. This container is used by installing the flexible package directly. Moreover, it contributed to removal of the process of refilling. This study aimed...

Due to the importance of cocoa in the food industry, there is a greater need to transport this commodity with fewer rejections and damage to quality. Growing in the tropical areas of the world, cocoa beans travel a considerable distance to their main importing destinations located in North...

Research on container loading problems has helped increase the occupation rate of containers in different practical situations. We consider these problems within a context which might pressure the loading process, leading to sub-optimal solutions. Some facilities like cross-docks have reduced...

Die Dissertation beschäftigt sich mit der Entwicklung der taktischen Optimierungsmodelle für globale und regionale Containersteuerung. Die Modelle beinhalten gemeinsame, spezifische Durchschnittsparameter, die den Zusammenhang zwischen den Steuerungsebenen ermöglichen. Die Probleme werden als...

The report provides empirical evidence about the misuse of container ships in international trade in counterfeits. It also suggests the main routes of trade with containers polluted with illicit trade. Finally, the report also outlines the economic landscape for containerized maritime transport...

"This book provides a coherent and systematic view of the key concepts, principles and techniques in maritime container transport and logistics chains including all the main segments: international maritime trade and logistics, freight logistics, container logistics, vessel logistics, port and...
