15 | ### Article
16 | In this [Article](https://medium.com/towards-data-science/maximize-the-loading-capacity-of-a-sea-container-to-reduce-your-shipping-costs-with-python-8cc02c9725a7), we will build a container loading optimization 
17 | model using a heuristic method from a Python library.

20 | ### Experiment
21 | #### Scenario
22 | You need to load in a 40' Container
23 | - 20 European Pallets 80 x 120 (cm)
24 | - 4 North American Pallets 100 x 120 (cm)
25 | #### Tentative 1: The Intuitive solution
26 | ![This is an image](https://miro.medium.com/max/700/1*VV3FCo5v75EmtDEgyhpKJg.png)
27 | > Results: 20/20 Euro Pallets loaded, 2/4 American pallets loaded. You need another container for the two remaining pallets.
28 | #### Tentative 2: The Optimization Algorithm Result

30 | > Results: 20/20 Euro Pallets loaded, 4/4 American pallets loaded. You don’t need another container.
