Modelling the Transport Process in Marine Container Technology

The paper introduces a mathematical problem that occurs in marine container technology when program- ming the transport of a beforehand established number of ISO containers effected by a full container ship from several ports of departure to several ports of destination at the minimum distance (time in navigation) or at minimum transport costs. The application of the proposed model may have an effect on cost reduction in container transport thereby improving the operation process in marine transport technology. The model has been tested by using a numerical example with real data. In particular it describes the application of the dual variables in the analysis of optimum solution .
