Abstract
In this seminar the classic frequency-based transit assignment method of Spiess and Florian to containers to demonstrate the promise of the method for a global maritime container assignment model. To simplify the problem we consider only one size of container and assume that containers are inter-changeable. To suit the container context, we include the return of empty containers and a capacity constraint for transhipment ports. An origin-destination matrix of full containers is assigned to routes so as to minimise an objective function measured in time units, which considers both full and empty containers. We assume that shipping lines operate strings with given frequencies but base container dwell time calculations on the assumption that vessels arrive randomly and without coordination. Where a port capacity constraint binds, we assume the imposition of a surcharge measured in time units for loading and unloading a container, which is sufficient to bring demand into line wi!
th capacity. We allow the delay to empty containers to be discounted in, or entirely excluded from, the objective function, to reflect the absence of inventory in such containers. Interesting properties of the model are illustrated both by means of a proposition and proof as well as by a simple numerical example. The paper concludes by considering the next steps toward realising a usable container assignment model.
