Abstract
Sea-borne container carriers are competing too hard each other on major container lines like the line between Far East and North America. They are seeking the effective planning method for the scale of transportation facilities such as ships, container terminals and containers. There are a few studies on planning these facilities under a given cargo which a carrier should transport without competitors.In this study, we suggest a facility planning model with multi-carrier in order to determine the strategy of carriers in actual competition. In this model, the optimal service level and scale of facilities are determined by the two-person nonzero-sum game with payoff matrix given by two sub-models:(a) shipper's behavior sub-model, (b) carrier's facility planning sub-model.Some case studies show the effectiveness of this model.
