Abstract

Container has the dual attributes of carrier and cargo, which reflects the attribute of carrier in heavy container state, while in empty container state it embodies the attribute of transport goods. Based on its dual attributes, this paper summarizes the empty container repositioning problem from two dimensions of transportation and inventory. Based on the analysis of the current research situation at home and abroad, the hot issues and development trend of the current research are reviewed, and the potential research direction and field are prospected.

Key words： container transportation; empty container repositioning; review; prospect
