Abstract The empty container management is one of the most popular problems in shipping. The container repositioning is very expensive and shippers cannot generate profit with it, so it is very important for shippers to have an efficient container management. This paper discusses the problem of repositioning empty containers in a cheap way and it shows up a possible optimization for the problem. First, the paper introduces the subject of the empty container management. This section is followed by a problem description and a modified Inland Empty Container Depot (IDEC) model based on Mittal, which solves the container problem. Afterwards, there is a description of the further modification of the model for the empty container management problem in hinterland, which is based on the modified IDEC. This model additionally considers the container transportation by barge and train, while the IDEC only uses the truck. In the last chapter of the paper, some possible results are presented.
