This book was released on 2022 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The maritime logistics industry is currently experiencing a massive acceleration in its verticalization process which after almost ten months, continues to make a global market tumble. This work explores how Vertical Integration (VI) of carriers is affecting both the carriers themselves as well as the shippers. In addition, this study aims to explain why not all shipping lines have decided to pursue VI as their current strategy. Based on the findings obtained, predictions are also made with regards to the future line of growth of the industry. The methodology applied is a case study research approach where the phenomenon of VI is explored by focusing on the case of the liner shipping industry. This work uses an exploratory, inductive research approach with a data set containing 17 samples divided into four key groups: carriers, shippers, inter-modal transportation providers and freight forwarders. The empirical findings of this study outline the main advantages and disadvantages of VI for both carriers and shippers. However, it is discovered that the perception of each impact depends on the perspective from which the phenomenon is evaluated: shippers and carriers highlight different advantages and disadvantages of VI. Furthermore, the investigation performed makes us understand that two diverse strategies are currently co-existing in the market and that the long-term goals, the shipping lines' vision, their target markets and financials are the key reasons that explain why not all carriers have opted for VI. In terms of the managerial implications for the future growth of this industry, it can be argued that at least until 2024 we will not see a stabilisation of freight rates because market consolidation, port decongestion and a growth in market supply is required for moderate prices to come. Finally, it is believed that VI will continue in ocean shipping, but that it will only last in time based on the results it yields. Nonetheless, even though the survival of freight forwarders has been widely questioned, it can be concluded that they will persist as fundamental intermediaries of supply chains. In a nutshell, this work sheds light on today's trends in the shipping market while it opens up a new line of discussion for the impacts of VI and the future trends to come in the liner shipping sector.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Global Liner Shipping is undergoing the largest transformation since the invention of the container itself. The core business models and business cultures which made the shipping lines successful are now failing. The coming decade will see the emergence of new business models suited for a new environment. This transformation is a source of significant opportunity for industry stakeholders, but equally a source of grave risk should existing companies fail to adapt accordingly. This book provides a foundation for industry stakeholders to understand the trends impacting the industry, allowing them to identify the right questions to ask in order to not only survive, but thrive towards 2025.

Download or read book Liner Ship Fleet Planning written by Tingsong Wang and published by Elsevier. This book was released on 2017-05-18 with total page 206 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Liner Ship Fleet Planning: Models and Algorithms systematically introduces the latest research on modeling and optimization for liner ship fleet planning with demand uncertainty. Container shipping companies have struggled since the financial crisis of 2007-2008, making it critical for them to make informed decisions about their fleet planning and development. Current and future shipping professionals require systematic approaches for investigating and solving their fleet planning problems, as well as methodologies for addressing their other shipping responsibilities. Liner Ship Fleet Planning addresses these needs, providing the most recent quantitative research of liner shipping in maritime transportation. The research and methods provided assist those tasked with optimizing shipping efficiency and fleet deployment in the face of uncertain demand. Suitable for those with any level of quantitative background, the book serves as a valuable resource for both maritime academics, and shipping professionals involved in planning and scheduling departments. Introduces the latest research on maritime transportation problems Analyzes problems of liner ship fleet planning, taking uncertainty into account Promotes the use of mathematics to manage uncertainty, using stochastic programming models, and proposing solution algorithms to solve proposed models Includes case studies that provide detailed examples of real-world examples of fleet optimization Explains how stochastic programming modeling methods and solution algorithms can be applied to other research fields featuring uncertainty, such as container yard planning, berth allocation and vehicle deployment problems

Download or read book The Geography of Transport Systems written by Jean-Paul Rodrigue and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2013-07-18 with total page 432 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Mobility is fundamental to economic and social activities such as commuting, manufacturing, or supplying energy. Each movement has an origin, a potential set of intermediate locations, a destination, and a nature which is linked with geographical attributes. Transport systems composed of infrastructures, modes and terminals are so embedded in the socio-economic life of individuals, institutions and corporations that they are often invisible to the consumer. This is paradoxical as the perceived invisibility of transportation is derived from its efficiency. Understanding how mobility is linked with geography is main the purpose of this book. The third edition of The Geography of Transport Systems has been revised and updated to provide an overview of the spatial aspects of transportation. This text provides greater discussion of security, energy, green logistics, as well as new and updated case studies, a revised content structure, and new figures. Each chapter covers a specific conceptual dimension including networks, modes, terminals, freight transportation, urban transportation and environmental impacts. A final chapter contains core methodologies linked with transport geography such as accessibility, spatial interactions, graph theory and Geographic Information Systems for transportation (GIS-T). This book provides a comprehensive and accessible introduction to the field, with a broad overview of its concepts, methods, and areas of application. The accompanying website for this text contains a useful additional material, including digital maps, PowerPoint slides, databases, and links to further reading and websites. The website can be accessed at: http://people.hofstra.edu/geotrans This text is an essential resource for undergraduates studying transport geography, as well as those interest in economic and urban geography, transport planning and engineering.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The importance of international liner shipping needs little emphasizing. A large majority of international trade moves by sea, and the liner shipping share in total freight revenue exceeds one-half. Notwithstanding, people in general know surprisingly little about the basic facts of the liner shipping industry, and, in particular, about the economics ofliner shipping. Perhaps because it is an international industry, where shipping lines flying many different flags participate, it has tended to fall in between national accounts of domestic industries. Even transport economists have, generally speaking, treated liner shipping rather 'stepmotherly'; besides the work of Bennathan and Walters (1969), a relatively small group of specialized maritime economists, including A. Stromme-Svendsen, T. Thorburn, S. Sturmey, R. Goss, and B. M. Deakin, have in the post-war period made important contributions to the subject, but so far no coherent and reasonably comprehensive treatise of liner shipping economics has appeared. The first purpose of the present volume is therefore obvious: to provide just that. The book is divided in three parts: Part I The liner shipping industry; Part II Liner service optimization; Part III Economic evaluation of the conference system. Needless to say, all three parts concur to fulfill the first purpose of providing a complete book of liner shipping economics. In Part II a more or less separate, second, purpose has been to develop analytical tools for liner service optimization. Thereby we use different approaches.
