Abstract
As coastal port shipping industry is facing severe economic competition currently; coastal port container transportation companies are unable to increase profits by raising container’s mileage freight rate substantially as before. Against such a background, on the premise that the container transportation of coastal ports could arrive at destinations safely, the paper makes improvements on current optimal path algorithm for coastal ports, extends the meaning of optimal path such as the shortest distance, the lowest cost as well as the overall evaluation of path and cost, and made improved verification of the algorithm. By addressing the problem of choosing optimal path for coastal port shipping, the paper aims to promote the quick reaction of container shipping, reduce operation cost, enhance the competitiveness of coastal port container shipping and the economic efficiency of the algorithm, while providing new thoughts for the application of the algorithm.
