The Optimization Study Of Feeder Container Liner Ship Routing And Arrangement

As the shipping industry gradually out of the shadow of the economic crisis, especially in maritime trade container business grew significantly, coupled with the large liners custom vessels eighteen thousand tank container transport ship is about to vote trunk route, all the signs are indicating that the trunk container good prospects for the development of the liner shipping industry. For economies of scale driven by the large shipping companies and ship construction and the rapid advances in technology, container transport, container transport ship makes large-scale time has come. But the problem has cropped up, large container ships to port berthing, loading and unloading conditions are extremely demanding, leading to most of the ship anchored only trunk hub. Further large-scale ship profitability is based on sufficient volume, and regional transportation hub can effectively change the limit hinterlands, and to provide protection for the volume of the main transport. Feeder transport in small and medium sized container ship advantage in convenience, flexibility, and transport costs so that it can play a role in the distribution of goods between the hub and feeder port in this axis assisted mode of transportation. Compared to the level of development of the main transport and the development of regional transport is still in its infancy, it is facing supply instability, complex business environment, and many other practical issues, making shipping companies face a variety of challenges in ship management. How proper planning routes, scientific configuration of the ship so that the shipping companies to reduce operating costs, is shipping enterprises need to be solved.Situation and Transport Organization internal extension container liner shipping herein conducted an investigation described. Further characteristics of regional transportation, economic and analyze the presence of the principal contradiction. Then established service levels to meet specific cost within the optimal feeder container shipping routes and ship design configuration of real-time dynamic integer programming model. On the basis of the route and ship design solved with commercial software, the use of simulation solutions based on the level of service the ship be verified. Finally, the Bohai Sea ports as an example for solving, rationality and feasibility of the model was verified.Through analysis of the results of examples, our model can meet the conditions specified service rate plan out the principle of the lowest cost most reasonable liner feeder lines and determine the various routes and ship models. The simulation of the actual amount of each airline cargo ship to ship mathematical model solution for the standard service rate verification, based on the various routes and economic simulation solved after several boats. Proof of service rate is to meet the standards set before.
