Abstract
Container transport is the main and leading form of transportation in shipping. Selection of the route for each voyage is determined by the nature of the traffic and operating conditions of the fleet. The best way to avoid any inconvenience when solving the predictive task of the liner ships is to use simulation taking into account both deterministic and stochastic processes arising from the operation of liner ships. The article describes a simulation model of a sea container line, for example, the company Fesco, working on a regular container line in St. Petersburg (Russia), using mathematical model and proposed model “follow the leader” to describe the movement of ships. The main task in the simulation is to achieve an optimal balance between ship traffic and the decision on group forecast issues with the composition of the ships on the line.
Highlights
Selection of the line type for each shipping route is determined by the cargo traffic and operating conditions of the fleet
The cargo turnover of Russian seaports in January 2015 was increased by 12.2% - up to 52.9 million tonnes
Cargo turnover of Russian seaports in January 2015 amounted to 52.9 million tonnes, which is 12.2% more than in the same period in 2014, as reported by the press service of the Association of Commercial Seaports of Russia
Summary
Sea container line cargo flow simulation of ship operation discrete modelling model-following the leader ship schedules sea feeder line regular shipping line The simulation model describes the operation, taking into account the whole set of specific conditions which are necessary to perform certain operations with the shipping line. Selection of the line type for each shipping route is determined by the cargo traffic and operating conditions of the fleet.
