Desafío

Empty container repositioning is one of the most critical issues facing the supply chain, due to the unbalanced nature of import-export traffic. Shortfall of containers at origins is detrimental to logistics providers. The cost to return containers, service/ maintenance non-availability of existing containers, repurposing different container sizes or acquiring new containers to serve revenue opportunities are among the tradeoffs to be considered in the empty container repositioning puzzle. ​
