tackle containership routing and scheduling problems at the strategic, tactical, and …

Container liner shipping is one of the most important transportation modes in international
trade. The industry is network-based, so network decision contributes much to the success of …

The maritime transportation flows and container demand have been increasing over time,

This paper proposes a short-term liner ship fleet planning problem by taking into account
container transshipment and uncertain container shipment demand. Given a liner shipping …

The study of ports in supply chain systems is an emerging area of importance which has
drawn more attention from researchers in recent years. This paper presents a new …

An increase in sea freight flows generates an almost proportional increase in inland freight
flows, and what takes place inland will influence the ability of intermodal transport systems to …
