Recently, enterprises have favored Southeast Asia for its demographic dividend and geographical benefits. The relationships between ports are complex, and their roles are evolving. This study introduces a container port and network analysis model to explore the features of container ports and networks in Southeast Asia. Using actual route and port data, it proposes three performance indicators: Annualized Slot Capacity (ASC), Equipment Utilization, and Terminal Productivity. Social Network Analysis (SNA) and Principal Component Analysis (PCA) are used to develop a suitable port connectivity indicator for Southeast Asia, analyzing changes from 2020 to 2022. The study also categorizes and analyzes the characteristics of the Southeast Asian shipping network based on vessel types and includes Kaohsiung Port in the analysis for a comprehensive comparison. The findings show that the proposed port connectivity ranking differs from the LSCI, which focuses on traffic flow, due to differing indicator aspects. Some ports excel in specific networks based on vessel types. From 2020 to 2022, Vietnamese ports showed steady growth in regional networks, while Kaohsiung Port declined, needing to enhance regional cooperation and competitiveness.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":46505,"journal":{"name":"Asian Journal of Shipping and Logistics","volume":"41 3","pages":"Pages 139-152"},"PeriodicalIF":3.7,"publicationDate":"2025-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144933723","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Data from 115 airport pairs in China spanning 2009–2020 were utilized. The findings reveal that economic disparity significantly influences air cargo volumes, with greater economic differences between airports' host cities leading to reduced cargo flows. Geographic distance also plays a crucial role and exhibits a nonlinear effect. By extending the panel gravity model into a threshold regression model, this study finds that when the distance is less than 430 km, air cargo connectivity weakens as the distance increases. Beyond 430 km, however, geographic distance positively impacts air cargo volumes, indicating that air cargo frequency increases with longer distances. Population size in airport host cities affects cargo volumes, with departure city populations having a stronger influence. Additionally, airport-specific factors such as available tonnage, flight schedules, and regular shift load factors are significant determinants, with the regular shift load factor being particularly impactful. By incorporating time-varying economic distances and geographic threshold effects, this study improves upon the traditional gravity model, offering a more nuanced approach for analyzing airport cargo flows. The findings provide valuable insights for policymakers, enabling them to better understand the factors influencing air cargo volumes and implement effective strategies to foster sustainable growth in the air cargo industry.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":46505,"journal":{"name":"Asian Journal of Shipping and Logistics","volume":"41 3","pages":"Pages 153-163"},"PeriodicalIF":3.7,"publicationDate":"2025-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144933720","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

With more firms engaging in global trade, reaping the benefits of offshoring and outsourcing a multitude of business functions worldwide, the increasing complexity continuously tests each company’s supply chain resilience and agility. The advent of e-commerce makes omnichannel more critical for traditional retailers. Omnichannel supply chains introduce an increased operational complexity to the information flows than that of traditional supply chains, including the need to coordinate numerous sales channels, multiple net-work nodes and decentralised inventory. A lack of end-to-end visibility of information flows can result in poor demand-supply matching and eventually cause service loss concerning stockouts. Accordingly, this study uses big data analytics to explore the relationship between forecast accuracy and visibility. A company in the fast-moving consumer goods industry centred on the Association of South-east Asian Nations region is employed as the empirical case. Not only determining correlations between the transmitted forecasts and actual supply needs but also insights into the growing emphasis on the omnichannel supply chain are discussed. Analytical results indicate that end-to-end visibility of information is highly correlated with forecast accuracy of demand, supply and production planning. The developed framework assists businesses in understanding the complexities of omnichannel operations and the benefits of information consolidation. This enhances businesses’ predictive analytics capabilities to facilitate supply chain planning and thus improve overall supply chain agility.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":46505,"journal":{"name":"Asian Journal of Shipping and Logistics","volume":"41 2","pages":"Pages 110-117"},"PeriodicalIF":3.3,"publicationDate":"2025-05-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144170650","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
