Market Under Stochastic Container Shipping Route Optimization

It has been fifty years since the naissance date of Container Transport whose mode and concept also have taken tremendous changes. And the effect of the system and supporting facilities of the Container Transport call into incisively and vividly play Container Transport market often affected by world politic events, economic fluctuation, port & dock conditions and so on. So the infection is with the paroxysmal unpredictable characteristic, so many indeterminate factors affect the Container Transport market at random or uncertainty.This dissertation mainly researches how to optimize the container shipping routes in the stochastic market. It includes the following chapters:Chapter 1 introduces the background and value of the research, the current research situation both at home and abroad, and the structure of this dissertation.Chapter 2 analyzes the Container transport market; it mainly analyses the supplyand demand of Container Transport market, we get a conclusion that the container shipping market is stochastic, at last we analyze the affection to container shipping route optimization.Chapter 3 introduces Stochastic Programming theory and converts the cargo quantity constraint into deterministic constraint basis on the theory.Chapter 4 we set up a mathematical model of container liner shipping network Stochastic Programming based on some model hypothesis, and in Chapter 5, we give a good example of this model and analysis with certain situation.Chapter 6, a general conclusion of the dissertation reaches is given, along with the direction of further researches in this topic.
