ABSTRACT

The shipping market is an important aspect in the development of the national economy, where the normal operation and development of the entire national economy has a pivotal role. Among these, container transportation is the most important mode of transportation in today's water cargo transportation, which is the most important research of water cargo transportation prices. Container tariff problem is a complex combinatorial optimization problem with strong application background, and a reasonable pricing strategy is extremely important for the whole container tariff structure and the shipping market today with the continuous development of the shipping market. Based on the systematic summary of the achieved results, this paper briefly reviews the research on container transportation tariff from three aspects: traditional research methods of freight rate in container transportation, research methods based on single model prediction, and research methods based on combined model prediction. At the same time, the current problems and future research trends are summarized, expecting to provide references for further research in this field.
