Description

In practice, liner shipping company pursues to fully load cargo on vessel. It has brought about argument for slot allocation between shipping agencies in booming market and ignored the revenue management to maximize profit for liner shipping company. Especially in Asia service, the service route is designed to call more ports, it is an important issue to make a slot allocation which determined the slot to different port-pairs to increase profit and provide shipping agencies a rule to follow. This paper presents an optimal slot allocation in intra Asia service for liner shipping. The slot allocation model is formulated through mathematical programming to maximize operational profit (freight revenue minus variable cost) with the consideration of revenue management. We illustrate this slot allocation model with a case study of Taiwan liner shipping company and the results show the applicability and better performances than the previous allocation used in practice.
