Abstract: A combined-transport network model with dual tank-containers of IBC and ISO Tank by both trucking and waterborne is created to optimise the route planning and resource allocation of the dual tank-containers, which cares the cost of refilling liquid from Tank to IBC, refilling facility cost and inventory limit on the water-land transfer nodes. Also, the transport service level of the model is monitored by proportional transportation fulfilment and vehicle loading rate. The instance results and sensitivity analysis show that the model has optimal transportation cost, more proportional and robust network planning. Thus, it is a good reference for managers to design a more suitable dual tank-container combined-transport network planning according to the real logistics situation and actual needs.
