Abstract
This chapter describes the global maritime container shipping model to allocate container cargo to the global liner shipping network, which is structured, based on containership movement data. In this model, each container of each maritime origin–destination pair is assumed to choose a route to minimise the total transit time, and an user equilibrium network assignment is applied with consideration of the capacity constraint of containerships. This model is not only functioned as a submodel in the lower layer of the entire simulation model, which is mentioned in the previous chapter, but also used as an independent model for some specific simulations on the maritime-related policies. The developed model is confirmed to successfully reproduce actual global container movement as a whole, including transshipment rate and volume at major hub ports.
