摘要: Container fleet sizing is a key issue in liner shipping industry. Although container an intermodal transport system, inland movements are often beyond the control of lines. It vital to understand how times and their variability affect sizing. This paper first formulates problem services with uncertain customer demands stochastic times. Simulation-based optimisation approaches then employed solve problem. Two typical services, one cyclic route trans-Pacific lane other more complicated Europe---Asia lane, used as case studies. A quantitative relationship between optimal size time established. The impact uncertainties on also investigated. results provide companies useful insights into making strategic decisions.
