| Research Abstract |
This study aims to clarify effects of container round use and issues on introducing it in hinterland of the port, which is a concept that the empty container after the import shipment was devanned is reused for export without returning it to the port.
First, I clarified functions that are necessary for carrying out container round use transportation and classified its transportation systems into four types by container trailer truck operations. Second, I considered effects of container round use and issues on introducing it by analyzing profit and loss of each member who constitutes its system. Furthermore, issues when domestic freight transportation is adopted in the reusing system of empty containers were showed.
