Analysis and algorithms for container loading-routing problem from China main ports to Balkan region concerning Belgrade as new hub
Today, 90% of non-bulk cargos are containerised and there are also many companies who want to send consignments of sub-optimal size so the freight forwarder arranges ‘LCL Shipping’ or ‘Groupage Shipping’ -making the amalgamation
of loads into one bigger more cost-effective one. This paper analyse cost-effectiveness of leading Balkan region Non-Vessel Operating Common Carrier (NVOCC) considering less than container load (LCL) shipments. During research, special emphasis faces for the opening of a new hub for the
transport of LCL shipments. The main goal of this research is to define optimal number of different types of containers, with respect to loading-routing problem, needed to transport LCL shipments with different sizes, weight, costs, loading ports and final points in order to maximize the profits of the
NVOCC.
