چکیده
In order to obtain the biggest economic benefits, large shipping firms widely use hub-and-spoke network operate ships. The reasonable not only decreases cost of infrastructure construction achieve scale economies, but also be efficient allocate existing resources maritime business. Shipping usually are in pursuit large-scale container ship, leading some blindly upgrade vessels and cause loss profit. Since operating costs transportation time is major problem for get more profit, this study, we research relationship route design, fleet planning freight build objective function view minimization cost. This study proposes mixed integer linear programming model liner ship choose appropriate location distribution, applies Lagrange Heuristic Algorithm solve model. simulation results verify validity algorithm, showing that when invest it gets lower rate, by contrast, small have advantages. But cope with changes market demand, operations firms, owning still necessary. Our two-phase considers problems comprehensively complete design planning. can high quality solutions a relatively short time, provides reference significance solving related future.

Impact analysis of maritime cabotage legislations on liner hub-and-spoke shipping network design
Maritime cabotage is a legislation published by a particular coastal country, which is used to conduct the cargo transportation between its two domestic ports. This paper proposes a two-phase mathematical programming model to formulate the liner hub-and-spoke shipping network design problem subject to the maritime cabotage legislations, i.e., the hub location and feeder allocation problem for p...
متن کاملTowards a Hub-and-Spoke Network: a Study on the Chinese Mainland Hub Airport Planning
The airlines reorganization will accelerate the switch of the Chinese mainland civil aviation system from a former point-to-point (PP) structure to a hub-and-spoke (HS) network. In such a context, the major efforts of our paper are put into identifying hub airports in mainland China. We first analyze the HS network’s competitive advantages and find four desirable hub characteristics. A three-le...
متن کاملMulti-period liner ship fleet planning with dependent uncertain container shipment demand
This paper deals with a realistic multi-period liner ship fleet planning problem by incorporating stochastic dependency of the random and period-dependent container shipment demand. This problem is formulated as a multi-period stochastic programming model with a sequence of interrelated two-stage stochastic programming (2SSP) problems characterized ship fleet planning in each single period. A s...
متن کاملRouting, ship size, and sailing frequency decision-making for a maritime hub-and-spoke container network
This study formulates a two-objective model to determine the optimal liner routing, ship size, and sailing frequency for container carriers by minimizing shipping costs and inventory costs. First, shipping and inventory cost functions are formulated using an analytical method. Then, based on a trade-off between shipping costs and inventory costs, Pareto optimal solutions of the twoobjective mod...
متن کاملAutomated Planning for Liner Shipping Fleet Repositioning
The Liner Shipping Fleet Repositioning Problem (LSFRP) poses a large financial burden on liner shipping firms. During repositioning, vessels are moved between services in a liner shipping network. The LSFRP is characterized by chains of interacting activities, many of which have costs that are a function of their duration; for example, sailing slowly between two ports is cheaper than sailing qu...
