Containerization greatly reduced the expenses of international trade and increased cargo turnover speed. However, there are many empty containers due to the imbalance of trade between the port and many importers or exporters. Currently, loaded containers only carry international cargoes, and very little work has been done on the dual-load transportation of using empty containers to carry regional cargoes. Empty containers carry regional cargoes have a very high profit, but usually with little quantities; most importantly, it is usually the case that we need to detour, in which case, this kind of cargoes is not worth carrying when it cannot make a certain profit. Thus a mathematic model about dual-load transportation of empty containers was discussed in this paper and a cost-benefit ratio (R) is adopted to determine the suitability of carrying regional cargoes using empty containers.
