How to improve revenue, reduce cost and improve utilization of ships have a significant impact to the liner shipping industry. For the liner shipping industry, slot allocation problems of loaded container and empty container usually are not considered at the same time. If a container department wants to ship empty containers, they need to find unused slots. Sometimes the container department has to ship empty containers by using an empty container ship. This situation is usually increases cost for liner shipping industry.
This research discusses slot allocation transportation problems by considering container loading, container emptying, container renting, container returning and container holding by constructing a mathematic model.
Two examples are developed to illustrate the mathematic model. The first only considers the program with six ports and one liner. The second example elaborates the details of a liner which operates routes between Far East and the west coast in the U.S. Several scenarios are discussed and the corresponding computational results solved using Cplex are presented.
