  • To resolve the irrational use of carrying capacity and the low efficiency of slot employment resulted from unreasonable pricing system in container liner shipping, a nonlinear pricing revenue optimization model was conducted based on classical two-part pricing theory and in virtue of relevant statistics characteristics obtained from sampling analysis.A series of mathematical experiments were carried out through MATLAB programming, and certain optimization conclusions with factors concerned under different laws were drawn.Analysis result indicates that under certain conditions, the revenue of container liner shipping enterprise can increase by 20%, and the rate of slot employment can reach to 100%, so the model is valid.
