A method for handling shipment of a container and related electronic device

A method, performed by an electronic device, for handling shipment of a container, the method comprising:

• obtaining historical data associated with container shipment;
• determining, based on the historical data, a container usage pattern associated with the container;
• generating, based on the container usage pattern, a time extension package associated with the container shipment characterized by package data, wherein 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;
• predicting, for one or more time extension packages of a plurality of time extension packages, a selection parameter indicative of a likelihood of selection of the respective time extension package by applying a machine-learning model to the historical data and previous package data;
• determining, based on the selection parameter for the one or more time extension packages, extension cost data associated with time extension of the container shipment;
• and
• providing, based on the extension cost data, updated package data associated with the time extension package.
