Container carriers have the demand and necessity for empty reposition due to the imbalance of trade flows in the world, all operators carried out formulated and implemented empty reposition scheduling strategies, but affected by fleet changes, terminal operation cannot be coordinated, or port omit due to ship's delay, the uncertainty is also increasing for empty container supply.

The operators usually solve the unpredictable shortage of empty containers by increasing the safety stock in ports. However, whether it is temporarily renting or increasing the safety stock empty containers, the additional costs paid by the operators are quite high. In this study, by implementing different empty container planning strategies, the possibility of empty containers freely changing the port of discharge can be designed in advance, so that the container carrier can solve temporary empty containers demand by this way on self-owned operate vessel without extra cost.

The actual deployment three self-owned vessels of the Asia-Australia service between 2015 and 2016 shows that the number of empty containers can be freely changed port of discharge, while the average of 20-feet empty containers can be increased to 34.4%, 40-feet which can be increased to 59.2%. It shows that the empty containers planning strategy proposed in this study can assistance the carrier not only to save the empty container loading / discharging / storage / renting cost due to temporary demand in the port, but also reduces operating costs and enhances business competitiveness for container carrier.
