Abstract
In order to achieve important policy goals like increasing global competitiveness, diversifying import sources, opening up new markets, and forging strategic partnerships, maritime transportation is essential. It also has a significant impact on reducing the economic vulnerability of nations that rely on the sale of gas and oil by carefully choosing its clients and growing the export of petroleum products, petrochemicals, and gas. This study develops a two-objective mathematical planning model to investigate container traffic in marine terminals. The main goals of this concept are to move containers as cheaply and quickly as possible.
To verify the model’s accuracy and viability, it was first used on a small scale with a precise methodology. After the model was successfully implemented, it was modified and used to larger-scale scenarios to evaluate its practicality and resilience. The findings showed that although the cost aim was relatively less influenced, changes in the model’s parameters had a considerable impact on the amount of time needed for transportation. This result emphasizes how crucial accurate parameter management is to improving maritime container transportation efficiency.
The paper provides a strong mathematical model that can help optimize container logistics in sea terminals and emphasizes the critical role that maritime transportation plays in economic strategies. The model provides a useful tool to industry stakeholders and policymakers to balance time and cost objectives, hence increasing operational efficiency and achieving wider economic goals.
