Abstract
The immense growth of containerized transport and the increasing frequency of calls of mega-vessels at terminals, serving as transshipment points, require powerful planning methods for the efficient fulfillment of inter-terminal transportation tasks. Collaborative planning, and in particular the exchange of tasks among carriers, is a promising instrument for increasing the efficiency of inter-terminal transportation. The exchange of tasks can be organized by auctions performed by the carriers. Three different collaborative planning scenarios are presented in this paper. These scenarios are evaluated by computational experiments. Based on the preferences of terminal operators and the outcome of computational experiments, recommendations for collaborative inter-terminal transportation are derived.
