In particular, the viability of foldable containers as an instrument of carbon offsetting for the shipping industry is explored. A shadow pricing approach has been adopted to predict the impact of
Through intensive computational experiments, we analyze the effect of the imbalance in demand and the decreases in the purchasing cost and the handling cost of foldable containers on the potential
ECONOMIC BENEFITS OF DEPLOYING FOLDABLE CONTAINERS: REDUCING BUNKER AND CONTAINER MANAGEMENT COSTS IN A MULTI-PORT SHIPPING NETWORK Summary. This
Furthermore, we developed an integer programming model to analyze through experiments the effect of foldable containers in each situation. The results show that foldable con-tainers have proven to be

This study analyses the impact of using foldable containers in terms of cost savings of truck drayage operations, of both loaded and empty containers, in the hinterland of a seaport. We
We find that, under certain conditions, foldable containers can offer higher truck productivity compared with standard containers, hence resulting in substantial cost savings. This
Although the economic advantages of foldable containers seem evident, we explain that these types of boxes have to cope with scepticism about technical performance, the complexity of
Foldable containers are considered an effective solution to deal with the endemic imbalance in the repositioning of empty containers. Several foldable containers were commercialized
However, the benefits that can be realized from foldable containers are contingent on their ability to withstand the rigors of ocean voyages.
In this study, we examine three key situations: shutdowns, demand fluctuations, and fleet size fluctuations. Furthermore, we developed an integer programming model to analyze through
The costs and benefits of using foldable containers in these logistic concepts are calculated and compared with the situation in which standard containers are used. It is shown that the use of
Through intensive computational experiments, we analyze the effect of the imbalance in demand and the decreases in the purchasing cost and the handling cost of foldable containers on the potential
This study seeks to explore the effectiveness of employing foldable containers (FLDs) in liner shipping to reduce relocation and the empty containers and bunker costs (BCs) associated with ship operations.
The numerical experiments demonstrate the comparative effect of FLDs against standard ones on the reduction of the costs of empty containers and containership bunker oil.
Therefore, to analyze whether foldable containers can be advantageous in empty container repositioning from an economic perspective, we compared the management costs of empty
This paper presents the design of a new 5-tier stacking foldable container with convenient folding and unfolding process and that can be produced economically compared to previous products. The
Economic Benefits Comparison of 20-foot Mobile Energy Storage Containers for Hospitals This report provides the latest, real-world evidence on the cost of large, long-duration utility-scale Battery Energy
Numerical experiments are carried out in realistic empty container relocation scenarios. We find that, under certain conditions, foldable containers can offer higher truck productivity compared with
