Project description
I am investigating how to optimise container shipping networks to minimise the impact of port congestion.
Research questions
My research will answer a number of questions:
- What factors influence the design of container shipping networks?
- How can we optimise container shipping networks?
- What impact does port congestion have on container shipping networks?
- How can we minimise the impact on port congestion?
I am using a range of techniques to investigate these research questions. These include network analysis, optimisation, interviews with stakeholders, and so on.
Benefits
The results and outputs will benefit many stakeholders. These include ports, container shipping lines, other logistics providers and the academic and research community.
