Containership Traffic Optimization on Feeder Shipping Line

Abstract

This article is devoted to feeder containership traffic optimization on the trunk and feeder shipping lines. The optimization is fulfilled in case of the necessity of laden containers delivery between fixed pairs of ports as well as in case of the requirement not to exceed the vessel's capacity, taking into account her residual value during transition between feeder port lines. The paper takes into account uneven distribution of empty container equipment in ports of line and the solution is suggested considering the estimation of the empty TEU’s number which is subject to reposition.

Concerning the application of gravity modeling network analysis

“…Not discovered numerical Indexes connection between factors and operating room activity commercial objects through absence data [7]. A significant number of works on optimization and evaluation placing trading enterprises in many ways intersects with the new direction in the economy -geomarketing, which combines analysis spatial and attributive information in economic aspects [8].…”

Integration of geoinformation in transport systems

“…The solution of flexible schedule optimization based on the modeling of the flexible size of the car is proposed in the work by the authors. The results of research on modeling demand fluctuations during the transit operation of the bus route were proposed by the authors in the paper [8]. The approach of modeling the demand for trips and its distribution in accordance with the volume restrictions at the zonal level, which are as mandatory as the bandwidth limitations of common links, are presented by the authors in works [9][10][11].…”

Effect of the Torsion Box Dimensions on Local Stress Distribution and Fatigue Strength Assessment of a Container Ship

“…This fact translates into the emergence of one of the vessels with the greatest presence in the world's seas and oceans, which has been associated with an incessant growth, in terms of size, of these vessels as a consequence of the appearance of the socio-economic phenomenon known as economies of scale. This increase in the size of container ships means that ports must increase their facilities to be able to receive them, however, this possibility cannot be carried out in all ports due to limitations in their design, so that in order to receive container cargo, containers must be transported from larger cargo terminals through what are known as feeder container ships, which are responsible for providing service to secondary ports [1], and it is for this reason that this type of ship has been the subject of study on many occasions [2,3].…”
