Empty container repositioning is an important issue in the liner shipping industry. Generally stated, two groups of mathematical models have been proposed to tackle this issue. The first group aims to derive time-dependent origin-destination matrices that specify the number of empty containers to be repositioned at a decision epoch; the second group aims to develop effective statefeedback contr…
The purpose of this paper is to explore and analyse the risks in container shipping operations from a logistics perspective. In the paper, risks associated with the three flows in logistics − information, physical, and payment flow are identified and analysed.
