Driven by global climate concerns, seaports have formulated sustainability goals, which also require gains in the fast growing temperature-controlled logistics market—increasing energy efficiency, reducing waste, and streamlining processes. This, however, requires cooperation buy-in from a wide range of stakeholders. To explore barriers facilitators such transition, we map interests attitudes cold chain actors Port Rotterdam regarding issues reefer transportation chains. We identify limited...
Strategic alliances in the container shipping sector, and requirements imposed by consolidated hinterland modalities such as trains barges, have resulted terminals facing increasing pressures to cooperate handle increasingly intertwined flows. However, concession agreements market conditions often also pressure compete. This paper aims help understand how for competition cooperation conflict, what problems this causes, drives these tensions, can be resolved. The drivers of port...
Increased urbanization rates pose crucial challenges in terms of food systems’ sustainability, including urban waste (FW). The global narrative around FW has focused mainly on Western countries, but recent evidence shows that is also a major issue the developing world. objective this article to define characteristics and drivers low- middle-income countries (LMIC). We firstly present tailor-made three-step approach identify hotspots LMIC, understand main design implement prevention reduction...
This paper is focused on intervention scenarios for smallholder potato value chains in Kenya that improve yields, reduce losses, minimize greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and increase economic performance food security. For that, business models GHG emission estimates are developed, based the existing data, combined with relevancy time-to-impact analysis using practical real-life information from stakeholders sector, which second largest agricultural crop after maize. The results show...
The refrigerated (‘reefer’) container market and cold logistics chains creates opportunities as well challenges for seaports. This high-value grows rapidly, but places stringent demands on seaports’ processes, infrastructure, energy provision. study addresses the question how port authorities address in this dynamic environment. While previous research has outlined developments governance paradigms strategic scope of authorities, academic literature still lacks a comprehensive understanding...
The interwar period presents a challenge to maritime economic historians due the lack of quality data. To improve our understanding freight rate development during this period, I have compiled dataset coal rates from United Kingdom, based on lists fixtures in Fairplay magazine. In article, discuss source material and data collection process, compare other sources freights present preliminary survey Due large number observations high degree detail data, new promising opportunities for further...
