Original scientific paper Container transport represents a key component of intermodal transport and a substantial contribution to the rapidly growing international trade. The container trade should be optimal to provide a suitable resource utilisation and profitability to key operators, providing them an easy and relatively cheap access to international markets. Numerous algorithms have been generated to provide an efficient solution to optimisation problems in container trade. This paper analyses the supply-chain network focusing on container import from the Far East to Serbia through selected Mediterranean ports (Koper, Rijeka, Bar, Thessaloniki and Constanta). An optimisation mathematical model was developed, minimising the transit time and transportation costs of container imports to Serbia, by means of using various liner shipping services on the deep-short sea and truck-rail-barge inland transport networks from selected ports. By using the bi-objective model for container flows from the Far East through Mediterranean ports, the optimal path for container import to Serbia has been determined. Certain groups of customers require the lowest freight rates, while others give priority to a faster delivery. Keywords: bi-objective optimisation; container transport; mathematical model Primjena matematičkog modela za kontejnerske tokove robe: s Dalekog istoka ka SrbijiIzvorni znanstveni članak Prijevoz kontejnera predstavlja ključnu komponentu intermodalnog prijevoza i značajan je doprinos brzo rastuće međunarodne trgovine. Kontejnerski tok treba biti optimalan kako bi se osiguralo pravilno korištenje resursa i profitabilnost ključnim subjektima, pružajući im jednostavan i relativno jeftin pristup međunarodnim tržištima. Brojni algoritmi su razvijeni kako bi učinkovito izvršili rješavanje problema optimizacije kontejnerskih tokova. U radu se analizira intermodalna mreža s primarnim fokusom na uvoz kontejnera s Dalekog istoka ka Srbiji preko odabranih mediteranskih luka (Koper, Rijeka, Bar, Solun i Konstanca). Razvijen je optimizacijski matematički model, koji smanjuje vrijeme i troškove kontejnerskih uvoza u Srbiju, pomoću različitih servisa na moru i kamionskih, željezničkih i riječnih kopnenih tokova. Koristeći dvo-objektivni model za kontejnerske tokove s Dalekog istoka preko mediteranskih luka utvrđena je optimalna ruta za kontejnerski uvoz u Srbiju. Neki klijenti zahtijevaju niže cijene prijevoza, dok drugi trebaju brže isporuke.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
