|---|---|
| Author | Hua-An Lu |
| Summary | Container liner plays a main shipping role in marine transportation markets. When a new route is planning to be opened or an existing one is considered to be adjusted in carrier, the most important preparation is to forecast the demands between each candidate trade for route planning, except to assess the future development of global economy. In this research we explore the procedure and contents of practical route planning. A mixed integer programming model for making decision of the routing of visiting harbors, amounts of service vessel, period of round trip voyage, and capacity allocation between each origin-destination pair is suggested under the conditions when the least demands are given. We conclude that it can truly reflect an available route service conditions through a case test of ocean route. An algorithm is proposed for saving the CPU consumed time and providing multiple solutions for user’s reference. Based on these, we also implement the sensitivity analysis focused on the changes of capacity demands in certain trades. All result in the same objective and the one calling in each port to minimize the total cost. |
