This study analyzes potential container flows in global supply chains, highlighting Ukraine's strategic position and gravity model application.
Key Points
Potentially, Ukraine can handle up to 112.9 million TEU per year in container flows from East Asia to Europe, and 99.9 million TEU in the opposite direction.
The gravity model, applied for the first time here, optimizes the prediction of container flows despite limited data, ensuring effective analysis under such conditions.
Using linear programming, the model minimizes variance between calculated volumes and actual statistical data, enabling precise container flow forecasting.
The research highlights the practical significance of developed models, allowing the formation of container transport flows for any region based on available data.
