To remain competitive and improve its productivity, a port needs to build its digital capability and become a ‘smart’ port. Despite its increasing importance, port digitalisation is largely under-researched. Our research explores how information integration afforded by the recent development of Port Centric ICT systems (PCIS) may impact port performance. A survey was conducted in Qingdao Port, the seventh-largest comprehensive port in the world. We adopted the partial least squares structural equation modelling (PLS-SEM) technique for analysis. Our model focuses on testing the mechanism of information integration on port performance among the port community members; that is, both internal information integration and external information integration and their direct and indirect impact on port performance. Our main contribution lies in that our study identifies two clear pathways for developing a port’s digitalisation processes to achieve competitive advantages: a) the mediated path, where port performance will improve if information integration is coupled with port community operational capability (PCOC); b) the direct path, where the innovative use of PCIS leads to radical ideas, new business models and transformative changes.","PeriodicalId":18288,"journal":{"name":"Maritime Policy & Management","volume":"50 1","pages":"466 - 491"},"PeriodicalIF":3.5,"publicationDate":"2021-11-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"49099930","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The further prosperity of the Sino-Thai bilateral trade provides an opportunity for the development of multimodal transport between them. Since selecting a suitable multimodal transport route for the bilateral trade is important, this paper establishes a model based on Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) and Zero-One Goal Programming (ZOGP) for evaluating and selecting the multimodal transport route between China and Thailand by taking cost, time and risk as affecting factors into account. A numerical analysis by taking Thailand rubber export to China as an example has been done. The results show that the weight of transportation cost is the largest, followed by the transportation risk. By evaluating the seven typical routes from Songkhla (Thailand) to Qingdao (China), an optimal route is found, which proves the effectiveness and rationality of the modeling, and provides decision basis for decision makers.","PeriodicalId":18288,"journal":{"name":"Maritime Policy & Management","volume":"49 1","pages":"647 - 666"},"PeriodicalIF":3.5,"publicationDate":"2021-11-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"44420288","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

These datasets, combined with a bottom-up model for estimating pollution emissions, enable us to analyse the level of pollution generated by vessels in the Arctic region. The results indicate that the movements of the vessels and their emissions increase in frequency and continue to do so unless clean energy or technologies are adopted. More than 80% of the emissions are found to be concentrated in the Norwegian and Barents Seas. Emissions from the Northern Sea Route are comparatively low and those from the Northwest Passage are similarly insignificant. Besides, an empirical analysis of the emissions in the Arctic region is carried out following the more restrictive International Maritime Organization (IMO)’s regulations on sulphur emissions that is implemented in 2020. This investigation supplements the literature analysing Arctic’s pollution emission inventory.","PeriodicalId":18288,"journal":{"name":"Maritime Policy & Management","volume":"49 1","pages":"155 - 180"},"PeriodicalIF":3.5,"publicationDate":"2021-10-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"42734765","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The objectives of this research are to identify the quality dimensions of maritime studies programmes from students’ perspectives and examine their impacts on learning outcomes which include satisfaction, engagement, and academic performance. After reviewing the literature, six quality dimensions containing 29 measurement items were generated. An online survey was conducted on maritime students from Nanyang Technological University, Singapore. Thereafter, exploratory factor analysis and path analysis were used to analyse the survey data. The exploratory factor analysis produces a six-factor solution that confirms the proposed quality dimensions. Further, the quality dimension with the most impact on student satisfaction is (1) technology integration, followed by (2) industrial exposure, (3) learning and teaching environment, (4) industry-aligned & innovative curriculum, (5) faculty member competencies, and finally (6) supporting activities. In addition, student satisfaction positively influences engagement and academic performance. Further, engagement positively influences academic performance. The developed quality dimension model can serve as a measurement tool for maritime institutions to assess the quality of their programme and update their curriculums respectively to meet students’ expectations and learning outcomes.","PeriodicalId":18288,"journal":{"name":"Maritime Policy & Management","volume":"50 1","pages":"301 - 320"},"PeriodicalIF":3.5,"publicationDate":"2021-10-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"43614861","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Semi-structured interviews were then conducted with 67 port managers in Korea. Lastly, FAHP was performed based on inputs from 18 port managers to analyze the priorities of the proposed sustainable port development practices. It was found that all proposed practices should be used for evaluating sustainable port development. It was also indicated that Optimized Operation Planning is the most important factor while Internal Environment Management is the least important factor perceived by Korean port managers. A typology of port–stakeholder framework for sustainable development was also generalized to assist port managers in making phased investment decisions. This research contributes to theory building by empirically identifying and validating the sustainable port development practices considering all three aspects of sustainability.

This paper studied shore power management for river shipping, which has become increasingly popular in some international transport networks. We discussed stakeholders’ incentives and concerns regarding shore power and found that vessel owners play one of the dominant roles in the wide implementation of shore power. Then, a mathematical model is developed to show the advantages of shore power by combining it with an analysis of the optimal oil inventory plan for vessels. When the plan of the oil inventory on vessels is well designed, using shore power could be more beneficial than oil even if the shore power has a higher price than the latter because using shore power can provide the vessel with more options to improve the oil inventory plan by reducing oil consumption during berthing and the number of refueling. Sensitivity analyses are conducted to obtain a better understanding of the impact of the parameters on the performance of shore power. Our policy suggestions and findings can shed lights on how to make incentive policies for a wider and easier implementation of shore power under international shipping.","PeriodicalId":18288,"journal":{"name":"Maritime Policy & Management","volume":"49 1","pages":"737 - 754"},"PeriodicalIF":3.5,"publicationDate":"2021-10-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"46714924","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Luo, Zhou Xu","doi":"10.1080/03088839.2021.1993366","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1080/03088839.2021.1993366","url":null,"abstract":"Global trade nowadays faces significant challenges due to the pandemic, geopolitical conflicts, supply chain disruptions, technology innovations, and so on. In response to these challenges, the development of logistics systems continues to drive the recovery and growth of international trade. This leads to even more complex global supply chain networks, typically involving maritime transportation, inland waterways, road, air and rail transportation systems. This special issue aims to bring together recent theoretical and practical research on the development of logistics and maritime systems for global trade. The first article by Sun et al. studies two new shipping routes in response to the retreat of Artic Sea ice caused by global warming. The two new shipping routes, including the Northwest Passage and the Northern Sea Route can significantly shorten the global transportation distance, stimulate trade among countries in the northern hemisphere, and change the hub ports. In order to evaluate the change of hub ports, this study applies a Spatial Computable General Equilibrium (SCGE) by modeling both global seaborne trade behavior and global container flow distributions. The SCGE is calibrated by actual trade and port throughput data, and the results indicate that some southern hub ports will show a declining trend, as some potential hub locations will appear in the northern areas. The second article by Zhang et al. studies the design of a multimodal and multilayer inbound logistics system for the delivery of iron ore from suppliers to steel plants. With demand uncertainty taken into account the study proposes a two-stage nonlinear stochastic programming model to optimize the design of the logistics system. The model is then linearized and reformulated. A scenario-based decomposition algorithm is then developed to solve the model. The proposed model and solution algorithm are applied to a case study of a steel company in China, and numerical experiments are conducted to demonstrate their effectiveness. The third article by Kim et al. studies how to make efficient stowage plans for shipping liners with foldable containers and shift cost-sharing taken into account. Foldable containers have recently been used more and more in maritime transportation systems. On the one hand it brings opportunities for shipping liners to save vessel spaces, but on the other hand it complicates vessel stowage plans. To address such complications, this study proposes a mixed-integer programming model that incorporates foldable containers in stowage plans as well as shift cost-sharing in the redistribution of containers on vessels. Through computational experiments, it has been shown that by applying the newly proposed model, shipping liners can eliminate most unnecessary redistributions of containers on vessels, and that inevitable container redistribution costs can be shared fairly.

This paper develops a bottom-up activity-based model to compute emissions from container vessels within the boundaries of the port of Singapore.

The paper analyses the container vessel segment by compiling a comprehensive emission profile by vessel size, port call time and carriers. This generates new insights in the dynamics and sources of ship emissions. The results show that the majority of emissions were produced by ship calls of shorter than 2 days, and 46% of the total emissions were produced by container feeder vessels as a result of Singapore port being a major international transhipment hub and the more frequent visits from such vessels. Our study also indicates stable distribution of emissions over the year, suggesting seasonality does not play a major role in container shipping operations.","PeriodicalId":18288,"journal":{"name":"Maritime Policy & Management","volume":"49 1","pages":"306 - 322"},"PeriodicalIF":3.5,"publicationDate":"2021-09-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45117727","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
