  • Honam area is one of the under-industrial areas in Korea and because of this it has low weight in the total container transportation in Korea. Also the railway distance from honam area to the main container ports like Busan port and Gwangyang port is so short that the portion of rail container transportation occupies about 10 percent in total container transportation amount in Honam area. But on the contrary of those situations, 1st step Jangsung inland container depot (ICD) was finished as one of the main logistics facilities in Korea and 2nd Jangsung inland container depot is under construction. To promote rail container transportation in Honam area which has shortage of container transportation demand, it is necessary to give adequate transport service to the client. So, this research studied some methods for promoting rail container transportation in Honam area. The subject of survey is freight agent and survey items are selected to find the present situation of rail container transportation in Honam area. And from the survey results various strategies will be suggested to promote rail container transportation in Honam area.

  • In the container transportation of inland depots the empty container is an important issue. The truck dispatching problem in this paper is considered under restriction about empty containers. When a full container arrives in a depot by truck, after unloading operation the full container is changed to an empty container. After loading operation an empty container is changed to a full container. We suggest an integrated approach to the problem of simultaneously managing empty truck and container movements. We suggest an integrated approach to the problem of simultaneously managing empty truck and container movements. We would like to find the truck dispatching method minimizing empty truck movements and empty container movements. In this paper, a mixed integer programming model is developed to obtain the optimal truck dispatching in container transportation and heuristic is developed to give a good solution in much shorter time. The numerical examples are studied and the proposed heuristic is also compared with the result of numerical examples.

  • The purpose of this study is to develop a low temperature waterless container for live fish transportation which is economical and efficient The principle of the waterless transportation is that a live fish becomes asphyxial at about $5^{\circ}C$can survive without water for a long time. A low temperature waterless container is developed for this purpose, which utilizes thermoelectric modules for rather smaller and lighter cooling system with precise temperature control devise compared to the existing mechanical system. At first, we succeeded in making flounders alive in the waterless container for 24 hours. Also when flounders were transported in a round trip from Inchon to Pusan in the waterless container, carried in a car, they survived in the waterless container for over 21 hours.

  • Container port is one of the most vital link of the transportation chain that plays an important role in trading with other countries. Having a proper understanding of port operations could change the role of the port from a transportation node to an efficient point in a transportation chain. Development of transportation chains, logistics and progress of these networks have enhanced the sustainable condition and level of transportation. Therefore, evaluating the competitiveness of ports is obligatory for port users to make a decision in investment or exploitation. This paper introduces the use of Fuzzy C-means and TOPSIS for competitiveness comparison among a sample of container terminals in Korea and China and determine how to improve Korean port competitiveness and particularly in Busan port.

  • Road transportation accounts for the largest share of cargo transport in Korea. Inland transportation is not only the beginning and completion point of container transportation, but it is also very complex and has many workers. The main job of container drivers, who play a key role in inland logistics, is to transport containers from ports and terminals to destinations. However, in addition to the main role, various container management obligations, such as cleaning containers and managing damaged containers during the transportation process, are implicitly transferred to container drivers. However, little research has been conducted on this issue. This study identified the working environment of container drivers and empirically analyzed the current status of container management responsibilities by drivers. Furthermore, it analyzed whether there was a difference in the degree of container management requirements by shipping company, terminal, and shipper. Differences in requirements for region(Busan, Kwangyang, Pohang) were analyzed, and improvement measures for the problem of transferring container management were also presented.

  • This paper addresses a fleet operation planning problem for a static freight container transportation system in which all the transportation requirements are predetermined at the beginning of a planning horizon. In the transportation system under consideration, a number of loaded containers are to be moved between container storage yards. An optimal fleet planning model is used to determine the minimum number of vehicles required. Based on the results from the optimal model, a tabu-search based algorithm is presented to perform a given transportation requirements with the least number of vehicles. The performance of the new procedure is evaluated through some experiments in comparison with two existing methods, and the it is found that our procedure produces good-quality solutions.

  • This paper addresses vehicle routing planning in freight container transportation systems where a number of loaded containers are to be delivered to their destination places. The system under consideration is static in that all transportation requirements are predetermined at the beginning of a planning horizon. A two-phased procedure is presented for freight container transportation. In the first phase, the optimal model is presented to determine optimal total time to perform given transportation requirements and the minimum of number of vehicles required. Based on the results from the optimal model, in the second phase, ASA(Accelerated Simulated Annealing) algorithm is presented to perform all transportation requirements with the least number of vehicles by improving initial vehicle routing planning constructed by greedy method. It is found that ASA algorithm has an excellent global searching ability through various experiments in comparison with existing methods.

  • Currently, container transport services play a substantial role in global cargo transportation, by serving as an intermodal between exporter and importer. Container shipping has become increasingly important over the past few decades, due to obvious advantages. However, Vietnam's container market has shown severely ongoing competition among numerous domestic and foreign shipping lines, resulting in serious consequences occurring such as freight rates substantially decreasing within the last 10 years. Vietnam's sea lanes have become more defensive, to cover losses of shipping companies. Selection of criteria for competitive evaluation of container transport companies is necessary, to facilitate addressing the problems within the enterprise, especially relating to its position in the market and from here, business management can implement strategic plans and reasonable policy, to survive and grow.
