The marine reposition of empty containers under uncertain demand and supply

With development of international commerce, the advantage of marine containers has become clearer and clearer. However, it also brings about a lot of problems, such as the reposition of empty containers. We reviewed the former researches and regarded the demand and supply of the empty containers as uncertain parameters, also brought different commodities of empty containers into consideration. According to this, we set up an optimizing model for the marine reposition of empty containers, finally made a simulation for this problem.
