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.

Abstract-Liner shipping is the most efficient mode of transport for goods. International liner shipping is a sophisticated network of regularly scheduled services that transports goods from anywhere in the world to anywhere in the world at low cost and with greater energy efficiency than any other form of international transportation. Liner shipping connects countries, markets, businesses and people, allowing them to buy and sell goods on a scale not previously possible. Today, the liner shipping industry transports goods representing approximately one-third of the total value of global trade. Ocean shipping contributes significantly to international stability and security. Considering the large and constant struggle in the market in terms of competitive pricing of products, a very important and indispensable role represents the container transport with a clear task to define the final price of the product. This paper analyzes the costs of container transport flow between Far East and Serbia, using different liner shipping services, observing the six world's largest container operators (Maersk Line, Mediterranean Shipping Company, CMA CGM, Evergreen Line, China Ocean Shipping Company and Hapag-Lloyd) and inland (truck-rail-river) transport corridors. These corridors include distance between selected Mediterranean ports (Koper, Rijeka, Bar, Thessaloniki, Constanta) and Serbia. As a result, in this paper is considered a mathematical model that provides a comparative analysis of transportation costs on the different routes. It is observed already existing transport routes and it is also given hypothetical review to the development of new transport routes. The main goal of this research is to provide an optimal route with lowest transportation cost during container transport. Selection of the best route in the intermodal network is a very difficult and complex task. The costs in all modes of transport and the quality of their services are not constant parameters and changes depending on a number of conditions and characteristics. The analysis of this model within combined maritime and land-based networks would prove helpful for the study of logistics chains, the hinterland-foreland continuum, intermodal transport systems, and market competitiveness.
