TL;DR: The idea that the “true” model is not necessarily the most likely to be obtained using conventional history-matching methods is discussed, and both the best production and best parameter-matched models are found.

TL;DR: A simple formulation in the form of a pipe network for modelling the global container-shipping network is presented, able to reproduce the overall incomes, costs, and container movement patterns for the industry as well as for the individual shipping lines and ports.

TL;DR: The SAIGUP modeling project has focused on the problem of assessing the influence of geological factors on production in a large suite of synthetic shallow-marine reservoir models, ranging from comparatively simple, parallel, wave-dominated shorelines through to laterally heterogeneous, lobate, river-dominated systems with abundant low-angle clinoforms as mentioned in this paper.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors identify critical factors that affect empty container movements, quantify the scale of empty container repositioning in major shipping routes, and evaluate and contrast different strategies that shipping lines, and container operators, could adopt to reduce their empty container re-positioning costs.
