A METHOD FOR HANDLING SHIPMENT OF A CONTAINER AND RELATED ELECTRONIC DEVICE

Disclosed is a method, performed by an electronic device, for handling shipment of a container. The method includes obtaining historical data associated with container shipment. The method includes determining, based on the historical data, a container usage pattern associated with the container. The method includes generating, based on the container usage pattern, a time extension package associated with the container shipment characterized by package data. The package data comprises a time extension parameter indicative of a time period for extending a return time of the container and a cost parameter associated with the time extension parameter. The method includes predicting, for one or more time extension packages of a plurality of time extension packages, a selection parameter by applying a machine-learning model to the historical data and previous package data. The selection parameter is indicative of a likelihood of selection of the respective time extension package.
