empty containers. This study addresses the problem of empty container repositioning (ECR) in the distribution network of a … uncertain network and those in an auxiliary deterministic network. Exploiting this new problem, we give the uncertainty …-quality repositioning plans and demonstrate that cost and modality improvement can be achieved in the network. …

Purpose: With the increasing environmental pollution due to the growing freight transportation, the roll-on roll-off (RoRo) transport is considered one of the most promising alternatives in short sea shipping to the dominant pure road transport. The interruption of the transport chain by freight...

The literature indicates that a 20% reduction in the weight of empty 40-foot shipping containers would result in $28 billion of fuel savings, along with a 3.6 exajoule reduction in the energy demand over containers’ 15-year lifetime. Decreasing the energy demand and thereby greenhouse gas...

This paper presents the design of the sea toll network, especially in choosing the combination of the marine toll … network that has the best performance, in terms of profit and benefit. The problem of selecting the best combination in this … lower-level problem is related to network loading due to sea toll operations, while the upper-level problem is related to …
