The concepts of intermodal logistics and distribution networks have made integration the inland freight system essential for an efficient container seaport system. Inland components, such as dry ports, which exist within system, become important in shaping performance competitive strategies seaports. Owing to importance interdependence between ports seaports, this paper aims investigate impact port operations on competitiveness. It conducted empirical study Malaysia through 120 online...
Digital transformation and automation in the shipping industry is resulting disruptive changes to ship design, operations, manning that aim enhance safety, efficiency, environmental sustainability of maritime logistics. While there growing research interest these areas, examining role human element new smart context largely neglected. Through a systematic literature review, this paper aims explore multi-dimensional impact autonomous technology from application Industry 4.0 future industrial...
Real-time monitoring of nitrite and nitrate is crucial for maintaining soil health promoting plant growth. In this study, a portable ion-chromatograph (IC, Aquamonitrix) analyser, coupled with field-applicable ultrasonic-assisted extraction method, was utilised real-time field analysis in soil. This the first application type analyser to nutrients On-site from local sports showed 94.8 ± 4.3 μg g−1 nitrate, LODs 32.0 5.4 nitrite. The results were close agreement those obtained using...
Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to explore the current profile skills and knowledge Australian logistics professionals identify important requirements for future.
This paper adopts a qualitative methodology to assess the Malaysian container seaport-hinterland connectivity from perspective of its physical properties. The findings reveal that although Malaysia's major seaports are connected hinterlands through road and rail transport, they highly dependent on road. These also inland freight facilities such as dry ports ICDs, which positioned transit points help connect exporters importers in well facilitating regional cross-border trades. suggests...
Effective adaptation to climate change impacts is rapidly becoming an important research topic. Hitherto, the perceptions and attitudes of stakeholders on actions are under researched, partly due emphasis physical engineering aspects during planning process. Building such considerations, paper explores port decision makers effectiveness actions. The findings suggest that while aware potential feel more should be undertaken, they skeptical about their value. This complemented by a regional...
Abstract Discussions surrounding the global shortage of seafarers (especially ship officers) continue to evolve and have attracted attention a growing number researchers industry practitioners in recent times. There is general consensus within literature that ship-to-shore mobility among (including officers unlicensed mariners) increasing. Prolonging years spend at sea their subsequent retention therefore an important issue requires further attention. This conceptual paper (which product...
The shortage of seafarers (especially ship officers) has already been identified as a global issue that is more likely to worsen in the immediate future. Thus, increasing attention needs be given problems hinder effective recruitment and retention order stabilize flow skilled labor shipping industry. aim this paper discuss seafarer from perspective Vietnam which one key emerging sources crew supply Asia. Specifically, case study research involving Ocean Shipping Joint Stock Company (VOSCO)...
Business collaboration is increasingly the focus of management scholars and practitioners alike. Collaboration brings both benefits to organizations numerous challenges. In disaster management, response events that impact people, communities businesses frequently involves multiple organizations. in this chaotic uncertain environment difficult. Humanitarian supply chains are part a service- based industry, thus interactions relationships with people necessary, further increasing complexities....
The resilience of US container ports is increasingly challenged by disruptive and stressful events such as regulatory change, adverse weather, larger ship sizes, changing patterns trade sea routes, the still to be quantified effects enlarging capabilities capacity Panama Canal. Port sustainability requires port managers resilient in their practices, maintain existing performance levels increase market share when opportunity presents. primary question that this paper addresses how might...
This paper assesses four major mitigation strategies (inventory and sourcing mitigation, contingency rerouting, recovery planning business continuity planning) to determine their suitability for managing potential disruptions in the wheat supply chain. In chain, maritime operations have an essential role due critical linkages that connect global transport of this high density complex freight task. Maritime logistical risks are wide-ranging include uncertainty vessel arrivals, inventory...

Four factors...
Perhaps the most critical issue facing seaports is their survival and growth in today's highly competitive environment. Seaports are challenging times as once monopolistic position of having captive markets diminishes. This situation being replaced by growing sections hinterland now considered competing contestable. In effect, for many business opportunities, contestable regions blurring resulting attracting retaining trade throughput becoming a major key to seaport growth. One strategic...
Regional ports, as infrastructure in regions, influence transport and regional development policies planning. The interaction involvement of ports with their stakeholders the region are pivotal. conundrum on what constitutes a port thus its has further complicated this limited researched area. In extant literature, relationship mainly centres major metropolitan pays little heed to ports. context, study investigates how Australian can be better involved development. adopts qualitative...
This paper explores the role and value of collaboration through telephone interviews with 32 senior managers in Australian logistics industry. Key findings from this elite sample include being a significant strategy which has been successfully utilised to grow business over past three years by majority sample. Their strong commitment as demonstrates its perceived their organisations. The interviewees anticipate that number collaborations will continue industry next decade, indicating...
The number of containers handled by Australian seaports has quadrupled over the past two decades. This posed major difficulties for community and businesses. Knowing projected demand, need disruption-free reliable land corridors is emerging importance. paper first aims to establish a transparent image role rail in port-based container flows and, second, empirically identify key impediments competitiveness this market. To achieve second objective, survey was distributed among ports...
For almost 20 years, research on firm level innovation have relied upon [Lawson and Samson (2001). Developing capability in organisations: A dynamic capabilities approach.
