Özet

Overseas containers sometimes cannot be directly shipped to their destinations, but first unloaded, temporarily stored and then loaded onto smaller vessels at interim ports to save cost and/or to transport them to their final destinations directly. The assignment of these transshipment containers to vessels necessitates several measures to be taken into account simultaneously. We develop a mathematical model that considers the assignment of such containers to different vessels while optimizing multiple objectives. We provide a numerical example and present our conclusions. © Izmir University of Economics, Turkey, 2010.
