[en] Empty container management is a transportation issue relating to the imbalance of container demand and supply. This project aims at minimizing the overall cost of empty container management. It takes account of transit time, shipping cost, the carrying capacity of the various modes of transport, the stochastic demand and supply of each terminal and port as well as other parameters such as substitution or holding costs, plus the intermodality with road transportation.
