Abstract
The work aims to consider the loaded container and empty container repositioning at the same time, and study the impact of changes in loaded container repositioning demand and related cost on the empty container repositioning plan under multi-cycle conditions. The fuzziness of the loaded container demand was considered. An empty container repositioning fuzzy planning model was established with the minimization of the total cost of the system as the objective. Then, the model was converted into clear equivalent form for solving. The leasing and empty container repositioning ratio changed significantly with the increase of the number of cycles. The leasing and empty container repositioning ratio of double cycles was approximately 6 times that of the four cycles, and the total cost of the system increased with the increase of credibility. When the credibility was 0.5, the total cost was the lowest. The empty container repositioning is more obvious in long-term decision-making and the quantity of empty container repositioning changes in the opposite direction as the empty container repositioning cost, in the same direction as the storage cost and container dumping cost, and in the reverse changes with the leasing container cost within a certain range.
