An Optimal Container Transportation Model (TEU) between the Eastern States of the United States and Western European Countries

Author: Hugo Maučec

The main purpose of this book was to optimize maritime overseas transport routes and reduce the total average price of container transportation between Eastern states of the United States of America and Western European countries as part of the logistics system in a transnational context, and to define and calculate the development rate of container maritime terminals in the Eastern states of the United States of America and Western European countries.
