Abstract

This paper discusses three types of relationship modes between a container terminal yard and a remote container yard. Considering the variability of demand, a corresponding storage pricing model based on game theory for inbound containers is developed to describe customer behaviour and pricing strategies of yards. The results of theoretical derivation and numerical study indicate that both sides will profit more in the cooperative mode, and the operational efficiency of terminals will be improved. The revenue-sharing contract designed in this paper leads to supply chain coordination. Perfect win-win coordination can be realized when the contract parameters meet specific conditions.
