提出了一种轮辐多港联运和空箱重新定位的班轮服务网络设计问题。首先引入分段概念，将其定义为由一条航运公司服务的一对有序港口，然后建立了该问题的混合整数线性规划模型。基于亚欧大洋洲实际航运作业的大量数值实验表明，该模型可以有效地求解CPLEX的实际问题。它们还表明，与纯粹的轮辐式或纯粹的多端口呼叫网络或不考虑空集装箱重新定位的网络相比，它们具有节省大量成本的潜力。(C) 2011 Elsevier Ltd.版权所有。
This paper proposes a liner shipping service network design problem with combined hub-and-spoke and multi-port-calling operations and empty container repositioning. It first introduces a novel concept - segment - defined as a pair of ordered ports served by one shipping line and subsequently develops a mixed-integer linear programming model for the proposed problem. Extensive numerical experiments based on realistic Asia-Europe-Oceania shipping operations show that the proposed model can be efficiently solved by CPLEX for real-case problems. They also demonstrate the potential for large cost-savings over pure hub-and-spoke or pure multi-port-calling network, or network without considering empty container repositioning.
