Sentence examples for of container flows from inspiring English sources

Notteboom [6] states that bundling of container flows in consolidation terminals is one of the key driving forces of container network dynamics.

These investments increased the volume of container flows in many ports and brought about remarkable changes in the hierarchical position of ports, in terms of the volume of containers handled [40].

The resulting container flows were integrated into the cost model by changing the transport distances between terminals and shunting yards and by revising the average train length to account for the improved bundling of container flows.

The lower explanatory power of both the total number of SSS ports and the number of small SSS ports is most notable, but may be explained by the high level of concentration of container flows around only a couple of main ports (e.g. Antwerp, Hamburg, and Rotterdam).

The third dataset is derived from the Port of Antwerp and contains very detailed information on the origin and destination of the container flows.

There are two facts which mainly contribute to competitive conditions: the continuous increase of the total cargo transferred and the spread of transhipment container flows.

To achieve the aim, this paper develops a bi-objective optimisation model to minimise cost and transit time for the tactical planning of intermodal container flows with constrained carbon emission.

Furthermore, the potential reduction in transport time is less significant for China and South Asia, which accounts for a significant share of the current container flows to Europe and a lack of intermediate ports of call along the route also restricts the scope of the NSR.

Few papers considered the simultaneous optimization of loaded and empty container flows.

From a simulation point of view, the inland waterway network is made up of terminals, waterway connections and container flows.

Network operation can consolidate different container flows in a network so as to create denser freight flows and achieve economies of scale.
