The trend of utilization of mega containerships in international marine transportation is more and more obvious. Mega containerships benefit the carriers and port operators more than small ones, which is due to the less unit cost of the former. Thereby, the general goal is to figure for the economies of scale of container transportation network. In order to achieve this benefit, the optimization schedule...
With the widespread utilization of mega- containerships, the economies of scale becomes more and more obviously. In order to get more benefits, a hub-and-spoke model for the container transportation network is provided here. Then the chaos optimization algorithm (COA) is applied to solve the complicated network optimization problem. Chaos has many good properties in nonlinear systems, such as ergodicity,...
