Analysis of Empty Container Accumulation Problem of Container Ports

Öz:
In this study, the empty container problem is evaluated by quantification of factors related to emptycontainer accumulation as well as alternative ways that can be followed for solutions. The study ismainly constructed as two parts; the first part is on identifying involving factors by using DEMATELand the second part deals with alternative solutions by applying TOPSIS method. The main causesaffecting empty containers were found as trading imbalance, irregular distribution, delivery time,unbalanced freight charges and inadequate port management. Finally, based on applied Multi CriteriaDecision Making approach, this study suggests that empty container problem can be solved by sharinginfrastructures and equipment among logistic companies, allocating storage areas for empty containersoutside the ports and following robust fast custom regulations.

Konteyner Limanlarına Yönelik Boş Konteyner Yığılması Probleminin Analizi

Öz:
Bu çalışma ile limanlarda boş konteyner yığılmasına neden olan etkenler tespit edilmiş ve bu soruna ilişkin uygulanabilir, pratik çözüm önerileri sunulmaya çalışılmıştır. Çalışma iki aşamadan oluşmakta olup ilk aşamada konteyner limanlarında yaşanan boş konteyner yığılmasına neden olan kriterler tespit edilmiş ve bu kriterlerin birbirleri ile olan ilişkileri, önem dereceleri bulanık DEMATEL (The Decision Making Trial and Evaluation Laboratory) yöntemi ile değerlendirilmiştir. İkinci aşamada ise bu soruna çözüm getirebilecek olan alternatifler belirlenerek bulanık TOPSIS (Technique for Order Performance by Similarity to Ideal Solution) yöntemi yardımı ile alternatifler arasında sıralama yapılmıştır. Çalışmanın sonuçlarına göre konteyner limanlarında boş konteyner yığılmasına neden olan en önemli faktörlerden bazıları sırasıyla; ticari dengesizlik, düzensiz sevkiyat ve teslimat süreleri, navlun fiyatlarındaki dengesizlikler ve yetersiz liman yönetimleri olarak tespit edilmiştir. Bu soruna çözüm getirebilecek en önemli alternatiflerden bazıları ise; ortak ekipman kullanımı / firmalar arası konteyner havuzu, liman dışı konteyner depolama alanlarının oluşturulması ve gümrük düzenlemeleri olarak tespit edilmiştir.
