HighlightsThis paper studies a ship type decision problem.The empty container repositioning and foldable containers are considered.The condition for using the foldable containers in shipping services is investigated.A solution approach based on a revised network simplex algorithm is deigned.

    AbstractThis paper addresses a problem of ship type decision considering empty container repositioning and foldable containers, which determines the capacity of ships deployed in a given shipping route at a tactical level and empty container repositioning between ports at an operational level. It considers the use of foldable containers and aims to find under what conditions, a shipping liner needs to use the foldable containers. To solve the problem, we formulate a network flow model with a revised network simplex algorithm, based on which an exact solution approach is designed to determine the optimal ship type.
