Abstract This study focuses on operational research methods which can be used for solving CMC problems. In

most studies, encountered in the literature, mentioned a tradeoff between repositioning empty containers and

transportation of loaded containers. In this study transportation problem was suggested for minimizing

opportunity cost of empty container maritime repositioning. Semi-structured interview was performed with a

CMC employee in order to understand limit and cost of empty container repositioning for both maritime and

inland repositioning. A proposal for inland container repositioning couldn’t be developed due to inability of

determining limits and cost of empty container inland repositioning.

Keywords – Operations research, CMC

LITERATURE REVIEW

There are two type of ports, ports is called ‘demand port’ and ports is called ‘supply port’ [1][4]. Demand

ports demand empty containers and liners have to satisfy empty container demand at demand ports in order to run

their businesses. On the other hand supply ports provide empty containers and there is empty container surplus.

Imbalance between demand ports and supply ports was mentioned in many studies [1][2][3][4][7][8]. A similar

imbalance occurs among depots in an inland system. Many studies focus on empty-container repositioning

between seaports, but limited research has been done about inland depot system of empty-containers. The

challenge for the shipping company is to successfully allocate empty containers between multi-depots and to lease

the minimum possible number of empty containers. Dang et al also highlight an efficient method of positioning

empty containers between depots minimizes the expected total cost [1].

Dong and Song' s study focuses on container fleet sizing and repositioning empty containers between

seaports. Efficient container repositioning may be equivalent increase fleet capacity and large fleet capacity may

decrease requirements of empty container repositioning. Container fleet size and repositioning is related from

point of view Dong and Song. Repositioning may decrease waiting time for empty containers and increase

container utilization. On the other hand repositioning empty containers occurs handling costs and occupies slots

on vessels[2]. Opportunity cost of repositioning an empty container maritime repositioning is losing a slot on

vessel that can be used for transportation of loaded container [2][7].

Choong et al studied tactical management of empty containers for barge transportation networks. They

described two variables that affect the empty container supply and demand as cost of building -leasing new

containers and cost of repositioning empty containers. According to Choong et al steel and energy prices affects

new building and repositioning of empty containers. A computational analysis was developed by Choong et al

which minimize total cost related to moving empty containers in order to meet requirements for moving loaded

containers [3].

A decision support system was proposed by Shen And Khoong which aims to solve distribution problem.

Shen and Khoong described the decisions that removes imbalance situations. These decisions are leasing in, off-

leasing, positioning in, positioning-out. Leasing-in is leasing containers from a leasing company. Off- leasing is

returning containers to a leasing company. Positioning in is bringing containers from other ports. Positioning-out

is moving containers to other ports. There are restrictions on the number of vessel slots allocated for empty

containers as stated by Shen and Khoong[4].

According to Olivio et al two topics were studied about empty containers in the literature. These topics are

empty container repositioning and routing of trucks. Scarcity of paper about inland container repositioning was

underlined by Olivio et al. In comparison with Crainic et al, containers may transit through inland depots due to

lower storage fees. Transferring empty containers from import customer to export customer is possible but many

customers have to pick up empty containers from closest empty container depot and their study focuses on subject

customers. Main objective of Olivio et al is optimizing cost of inland repositioning for empty containers and

determining the volume of empty containers to-from ports [8].

Crainic et al proposed models for empty container allocation in a land distribution system. According to

Crainic et al every loaded container movement almost causes an empty container movement. Land movement of

empty containers directly between depots was described as balancing flow by Crainic et al. %40 of total land

movements were empty containers for major European Shipping Company who performed over 300000 land

movements in 1986 . According to Crainic et al shipping companies needs to plan container management at

several planning levels. These levels are strategical, operational and tactical levels hence they can’t be represented

by a single model[5].

Mittal et al studied determining optimal depot location under stochastic demand. Empty containers

regional repositioning includes movements between importers, terminals, depots and exporters. According to

Mittal et al there will be capacity problem occurred if measures not taken[9].

Two problems was studied in Feng and Cheng' s study . First problem is estimate the empty container

stock at each port and the second is empty container reposition planning. Occupying vessel slots during

repositioning was also underlined by Feng and Cheng. They implied safety stock in their model. According to

Feng and Chang empty containers are repositioning within a geographical region. Main aim of their study is

developing empty container repositioning techniques and minimizing cost of empty container repositioning[7].

A genetic based optimization procedure was developed in Dang et al’ s study in order to minimize the

expected total cost. Inland repositioning was also studied in subject study[10].

METHODOLOGY

Semi structured interview was performed in order to find out limits and decision making criteria for

empty container repositioning. Semi- structured interview was preferred due to getting new ideas during the

interview. Minimizing opportunity cost of empty container maritime repositioning is main problem for

transportation problem usage proposal.

RESEARCH FINDINGS

According to interview with an anonymous CMC department employee empty container requirements are

planned on weekly basis. Stock levels are checked on daily basis by CMC employees. Arrival of empty containers

is taken into consideration while planning weekly empty container requirements. Agencies make agreement with

depots based on certain number of containers hence paying storage fee per container is a rare exception. Road

transport and railway are not preferred for repositioning of empty containers. Road transportation of empty

container is an expensive way of repositioning of empty containers hence main transportation method for empty

720



containers is maritime transportation. Road transportation may be preferred for close range in case of urgency.

Export customers may rarely demand to pick up empty containers from certain empty container depot. Empty

container requirement is predictable for two weeks before and calculated as new arrivals plus return equipment.

Historical data and statistical forecasting techniques are used for demand forecast. Empty container demand

fluctuations are rare occasions but possible due to booking fluctuations. According to interview personal

assessment is the only method that is used for managing empty containers. Lines reposition empty containers

considering demand and forecast of their agencies.

CONCLUSION

There may not be an inland container repositioning problem considering rarely preferred road

transportation and unavailability inland waterways in Turkey. Probable cause of this situation may be

attractiveness of direct door to door road transportation considering relatively high rates and transit time of door

to door containerized transportation due to unavailability of inland waterway and poor railway network.

Transportation problem models may be used for minimizing opportunity cost of empty containers

maritime repositioning. According to Hillier and Lieberman transportation problems may imply any problem that

provides transportation model parameters. Hillier and Lieberman’s transportation formulation was adapted to

minimizing opportunity cost of empty container repositioning [11].. Opportunity cost of an empty container

repositioning may be found out average revenue for subject voyage minus average fixed and variable costs for

subject voyage then result should be divided by average occupancy rate. Return equipment should be considered

while estimating demand of empty container that will be satisfied by new arrivals. Empty container requirement at

supply port was assumed hence supply of empty container should be calculated empty container surplus at supply

port minus estimated empty container requirement for exporters at supply port. All estimations should be based on

longest transit time from a supply port to any demand port in model considering arrival of empty containers

should be taken into consideration.
