We can formulate this problem as a transportation problem by setting the supply as the excess of
containers at some ports, and demand as the shortage of containers at others. In order to find
the optimal solution we need to know the costs of moving one container from one port to the
other. And we would need to know the demand and supply at all the ports. We could then
minimise the cost of moving the containers from the ports with excess to the ports with demand.
