Abstract
In order to effectively reduce the cost of empty container dispatching and transportation, an integer programming model for empty container dispatching and transportation with multiple periods and multiple ports was established, and the empty container dispatching and transportation scheme was optimized under the (D, U) inventory control strategy considering the service level. The results show that compared with no inventory control strategy, the (D, U) strategy can effectively reduce the total operating cost of liner companies. Select the service level for sensitivity analysis, and verify that (D, U) control strategy can effectively reduce the dependence of liner companies on container chartering.
