Research On Empty Container Allocation Problem In Port Based On System Dynamics

As a container liner company’s assets, which forms part of the equipped with quantity directly determine the liner companies in a certain period of time within container fixed costs. Along with the economic fluctuation continuously, container in the market demand is constantly ups and downs. After the outbreak of the subprime crisis, a sharp fall in the trade, liner companies capacity and container serious excess; But along with the economic recovery, trade volume rebounded quickly, and there is a whole industry container supply shortages. Ports as the route transportation node, is the heavy box formation source, is also the destination, is stored empty warehouse, in empty heavy box transportation and transformation of buffering and control play a role. In the ever-changing market, in the port container with reasonable to liner companies operating profit plays an important role.This paper from the liner companies meet the container transport service needs this container equipped with basic purpose and improve their profitability on the final goal, around influence liner companies in port container equipped with quantity factors, container in port loading and unloading, and empty heavy container in port flow process of content analysis, discussion and research on port container management system. Based on the current characteristics of the port container problems and system dynamics method to adapt to the situation of research, demonstrates the system dynamics in the port container empty container inventory, empty container leasing and in port heavy container quantity of unique advantages and angle of view, this method is applied to the port container in the study will be more perfect port container management theory system. Finally, proposed based on system dynamics in port container empty container allocation model and container equipped with control method and train of thought. During this period, this paper also pay special attention to the owners in container flow in the process of the influence and its play an important role, time factor demand fluctuation on the influence of the container, and at the same time, considering the spatial statistics don’t balance in the port container influence changes.
