摘要

本文研究了单向集装箱租赁服务（OCRS）的租赁定价和空箱重新定位（ECR）策略。拟议的OCRS旨在通过优化租赁定价和ECR业务来解决洲际集装箱不平衡问题，减轻航运公司的财务负担。建立了数学优化模型来确定最优价格和集装箱利用率，并辅以两种实用的库存管理政策，即定期审查和持续审查政策，以增强现实世界的适用性。为了进一步验证所提出的服务在随机环境中的鲁棒性，另外提出了两种非常实用的基于规则的启发式方法。计算实验对不同场景下的服务盈利能力进行了评估，结果表明基于连续评审策略的启发式算法具有良好的性能。研究结果强调了OCRS在提高资源效率和减少物流浪费方面的潜力，为弹性和生态友好的海上物流网络铺平了道路。

Rental pricing and empty container repositioning strategy for a one-way container rental service

This paper investigates rental pricing and empty container repositioning (ECR) strategies for a one-way container rental service (OCRS). The proposed OCRS aims to address intercontinental container imbalances and alleviate financial burdens on shipping companies by optimizing rental pricing and ECR operations. Mathematical optimization models are developed to determine optimal prices and container utilization, complemented by two practical inventory management policies, namely periodic review and continuous review policies, to enhance real-world applicability. To further validate the robustness of the proposed service in stochastic environments, two highly practical rule-based heuristics are additionally proposed. Computational experiments evaluate the service’s profitability under various scenarios, revealing that the heuristic based on the continuous review policy demonstrates robust performance. The results underscore the potential of the OCRS to promote resource efficiency and to reduce logistical waste, paving the way for resilient and eco-friendly maritime logistics networks.

期刊介绍： Ocean & Coastal Management is the leading international journal dedicated to the study of all aspects of ocean and coastal management from the global to local levels. We publish rigorously peer-reviewed manuscripts from all disciplines, and inter-/trans-disciplinary and co-designed research, but all submissions must make clear the relevance to management and/or governance issues relevant to the sustainable development and conservation of oceans and coasts. Comparative studies (from sub-national to trans-national cases, and other management / policy arenas) are encouraged, as are studies that critically assess current management practices and governance approaches. Submissions involving robust analysis, development of theory, and improvement of management practice are especially welcome.
