“…AECM can be calculated by deducting ECM arising from trade imbalance from total ECM per container-type. Furthermore, after deducting seasonal AECM from AECM one can find out AECM arising from the rest of operational drivers except cargo seasonality and market effect (Basarici and Satir, 2019). Ambarli Istanbul has a huge container throughput if compared other local terminals.…”

“…This emphasis highlights another impact arising from voluntary commercial decisions of ship operators, called the market effect. Basarici and Satir (2019) reviewed the literature and suggested a taxonomy indicating the reasons for ECM into three categories. The category trade imbalance consists of MABR 4,3 structural trade imbalance and region-based container-type imbalance.…”

“…Especially in Turkey, one can allege that the difference between AECM and seasonal AECM substantially reflect the amount of ECM arising from market effect (Basarici and Satir, 2019). In case AECM arising from market effect can be decreased, less cost for supermarkets and less environmental depredations might be obtained.…”

“…In container terminals, the reasons for ECM can be considered in three categories: trade imbalance, operational drivers, and market effect (Basarici and Satir, 2019). In case of having trade and/or container imbalance in a terminal, it is inevitable to face ECM.…”

“…The reasons for operational drivers occur under the limited control of ship operators or are entirely beyond their control. The operational drivers involve in seasonal demand, abundant container owners, container condition, uncertainties in demand/handling/shipment, and blind spots in supply chain (Boile et al, 2004;Song and Carter, 2009;Basarici and Satir, 2019). During this study, firstly, one has calculated the magnitude of cargo seasonality (Seasonal AECM), which is the major element of operational drivers in Turkey, on the basis of TEU and then compared it with the magnitude of AECM of each container terminal located in Turkey.…”

Purpose -The purpose of this study is to reveal the magnitude of empty container movements (ECM) arising from cargo seasonality by means of long-term datasets of Turkish terminals. Trade imbalance is one of the well-known major reasons of ECM. Cargo seasonality apart from some other operational drivers and market effect, i.e. commercial decisions of the ship operators, is the major operational driver in Turkish terminals effecting ECM. Furthermore, this study highlights the significance of market effect, leading to take measures for more effective empty container operations in terms of decision makers leading the ship operators.Design/methodology/approach -Time series analysis of full container datasets was performed through X-13ARIMA-SEATS methodology, implementing seasonal adjustment.Findings -The results indicate that 17 of 112 time series in hand, based on a terminal/hinterland, container type and "in and out" foreign trade, exhibit cargo seasonality. Roughly, the amount of ECM originating from cargo seasonality in Turkish terminals represents 10 per cent of total ECM except trade imbalance in those terminals where seasonality is present. This reveals that ECM arising from market effect should not be underestimated.Research limitations/implications -Reefer container traffic could not be sorted from the datasets. Originality/value -This paper focuses on one of the major reasons of ECM, cargo seasonality. It brings a novel point of view and interpretations which were not suggested previously about ECM, motivating to overcome inefficiency in container operations.

Literatürde boş konteyner konumlamasına dair pek çok çalışma mevcuttur. Bu çalışmaların sınıflandırılması, gelecek çalışmalara dair hangi alanlarda araştırma yapılabilecek bir derinlik olduğunu belirlemede kritiktir. Bu çalışma, literatürde mevcut çalışmaları stratejik, taktik ve operasyonel planlama düzeyleri bağlamında sınıflandırmıştır. Sınıflandırma yapılırken planlama düzeyi belirleme kriterleri ile 2010-2018 seneleri arasında yayınlanan çalışma içerikleri karşılaştırılmıştır. Çalışma, önerilen çözümlere dair yararlanılan matematiksel modelleri de incelemektedir. İlgi dönemde literatür çalışmalarının pek çoğu taktik planlama düzeyindedir. Operasyonel düzeydeki çalışmalar ise nispeten seyrektir. Stratejik planlamaya yönelik çalışma sayısı ise son derece kısırdır. Politik ve ekonomik gelişmelerden hızla etkilenen, belirsizliğin yüksek olduğu küresel taşımacılığa ilişkin akademik çalışmalarda stokastik modeller beklenildiği düzeyde kullanılmamaktadır. Kısa dönem konteyner kiralama uygulamalarının, boş konteyner hareket sayılarının azaltılabilmesi üzerine etkileri gelecekte araştırma yapılabilecek önde gelen bakir alanlar içinde öne çıkmaktadır. Dolu/boş konteyner bekleme sürelerinin azaltılması, gemi liman uğraklarına dair sabit günlü zaman çizelgesi oluşturulması, demirbaş ve kiralık konteynerlerin birlikte kullanımı konuları son senelerde kısıtlı çalışmaya konu olmasına rağmen sektör pratiğine hitap etme potansiyeli taşımaktadır.
