The purpose of this study is to reveal the magnitude of empty container movements (ECM) arising from cargo seasonality by means of long-term datasets of Turkish terminals. Trade imbalance is one of the well-known major reasons of ECM. Cargo seasonality apart from some other operational drivers and market effect, i.e. commercial decisions of the ship operators, is the major operational driver in Turkish terminals effecting ECM. Furthermore, this study highlights the significance of market effect, leading to take measures for more effective empty container operations in terms of decision makers leading the ship operators.,Time series analysis of full container datasets was performed through X-13ARIMA-SEATS methodology, implementing seasonal adjustment.,The results indicate that 17 of 112 time series in hand, based on a terminal/hinterland, container type and “in and out” foreign trade, exhibit cargo seasonality. Roughly, the amount of ECM originating from cargo seasonality in Turkish terminals represents 10 per cent of total ECM except trade imbalance in those terminals where seasonality is present. This reveals that ECM arising from market effect should not be underestimated.,Reefer container traffic could not be sorted from the datasets.,This paper focuses on one of the major reasons of ECM, cargo seasonality. It brings a novel point of view and interpretations which were not suggested previously about ECM, motivating to overcome inefficiency in container operations.

季节性货物空运导致集装箱空运:土耳其码头

这项研究的目的是通过土耳其码头的长期数据来揭示由于货物季节性而引起的空集装箱移动量(ECM)。贸易不平衡是ECM众所周知的主要原因之一。除了其他一些运营驱动因素和市场影响(即船舶运营商的商业决策)以外,货运季节性是影响ECM的土耳其码头的主要运营驱动因素。此外,本研究强调了市场效应的重要性,从而采取了措施使决策者领导船舶经营者能够更有效地执行空集装箱操作。通过X-13ARIMA-SEATS方法对完整集装箱数据集进行时间序列分析,季节调整。结果表明,基于终端/内陆地区,现有112个时间序列中的17个时间序列,集装箱类型和“进出”外贸,显示出货物季节性。粗略地讲,源自土耳其码头的货物季节性的ECM量占ECM总量的10%,但存在季节性的那些码头的贸易失衡除外。这表明不应低估由市场效应引起的ECM。不能从数据集中对冷藏集装箱的运输量进行分类。本文着重探讨ECM的主要原因之一,即货物季节性。它带来了新颖的观点和解释,这些观点和解释以前没有对ECM提出过建议,从而激发了克服集装箱操作效率低下的问题。来自土耳其码头货物季节性的ECM量占ECM总量的10%,但存在季节性的那些码头的贸易失衡除外。这表明不应低估由市场效应引起的ECM。不能从数据集中对冷藏集装箱的运输量进行分类。本文着重探讨ECM的主要原因之一,即货物季节性。它带来了新颖的观点和解释,这些观点和解释以前没有对ECM提出过建议,从而激发了克服集装箱操作效率低下的问题。来自土耳其码头货物季节性的ECM量占ECM总量的10%,但存在季节性的那些码头的贸易不平衡除外。这表明不应低估由市场效应引起的ECM。不能从数据集中对冷藏集装箱的运输量进行分类。本文着重探讨ECM的主要原因之一,即货物季节性。它带来了新颖的观点和解释,这些观点和解释以前没有对ECM提出过建议,从而激发了克服集装箱操作效率低下的问题。
