The Baltic Feederline Layout Planning And Decision Making Research Of C Company

With the development of large-scale container vessels, all the main shipping carriersadjust and optimize the feeder network, basing on the optimization of feeder layout, thesingle compartment cost of capacity is highly reduced and the comprehensivecompetitiveness is improved.C company succeeded in cultivating western-African feeder line, the Adriatic Seafeeder line, East Mediterranean line. So they have accumulated some experience on thedisplay, management and operation in this regard. But C company hasn’t established itsown feeder network on the northwest market where the carrying capacity input mostconcentrates. To a large extent, which limits it’s efficient multiple use, unfavorable to theIntro Euro service. At the same time, since the feeder liners focus, the rise in the feedercost gives rise to the fixed cost and the competitive disadvantage for C company,unfavorable for the following debate on port rate resulting from port called.The thesis is making research on the Baltic feeder line layout planning and decisionmaking research of C company, by analyzing the network layout, the advantages anddisadvantages of comer feeder and main competitors while considering the market share,cargo flow of C company, analyze and make decision of the service route,vessel capacity,operation model and so on. Using the “Grey correlation method” to choose the optimalprogram between four different schemes, and then put forward the further work need tobe done before starting the new one feeder service.The thesis analyze the feeder network layout by using the traditional theory of networkoptimize, which has practical guiding for route planning and decision making.
