“…The top container lines have made agreements with various ports, and have also acquired some of them, in what is referred to as vertical integration. This integration occurs when a company acquires another company operating in the inbound or outbound logistics chain for the acquiring firms products or services (Lee and Song, 2015). This is the case where the shipping line and the terminal operator are the same entity, or under the same group of companies, e.g.…”

“…Several studies on competition and cooperation between container shipping lines and ports can be found in the literature. Some general surveys on the issue are, among others, the editorial of Panayides and Cullinane (2002), the review paper of Lee and Song (2015) and Lee and Song (2017). Lee and Song (2015) examine the environmental challenges that maritime logistics operators have recently faced and investigate strategic ways for maritime logistics operators to effectively manage competition and co-operation with their rivals.…”

The multi-port berth allocation problem with speed optimization and emission considerations http://researchonline.ljmu.ac.uk/id/eprint/6580/ Article LJMU has developed LJMU Research Online for users to access the research output of the University more effectively. AbstractThe container shipping industry faces many interrelated challenges and opportunities, as its role in the global trading system has become increasingly important over the last decades. On the one side, collaboration between port terminals and shipping liners can lead to costs savings and help achieve a sustainable supply chain, and on the other side, the optimization of operations and sailing times leads to reductions in bunker consumption and, thus, to fuel cost and air emissions reductions. To that effect, there is an increasing need to address the integration opportunities and environmental issues related to container shipping through optimization. This paper focuses on the well known Berth Allocation Problem (BAP), an optimization problem assigning berthing times and positions to vessels in container terminals. We introduce a novel mathematical formulation that extends the classical BAP to cover multiple ports in a shipping network under the assumption of strong cooperation between shipping lines and terminals. Speed is optimized on all sailing legs between ports, demonstrating the effect of speed optimization in reducing the total time of the operation, as well as total fuel consumption and emissions. Furthermore, the model implementation shows that an accurate speed discretization can result in far better economic and environmental results.

“…Freight forwarders and logistics service providers are intermediary companies that provide services in the global logistics industry that connect shipper and maritime operators / lines and facilitate cross-border trade (Murphy and Daley 2001, as cited in Lee and Song, 2015). Freight forwarder businesses provide important supportive, complementary and facilitating services to businesses that provide logistics, transportation and maritime transport services in international trade (Deveci and Çetin, 2013).…”

“…Due to the wide variety of and highly complex customer demands, competition among forwarder organizations is getting more and more difficult. In this highly competitive environment, while large organizations that can meet customer needs are growing day by day, smaller organizations are struggling to survive (Lee and Song, 2015).…”

Competition starts with existence of life itself. In order to survive in the globalizing world, it is a great necessity for companies to provide sustainable competitive advantage. In this sense, in order to achieve a sustainable competitive advantage, factors affecting competition should be deeply perceived and implemented. In recent years, logistics sector has had a complex structure as global competition has been increasing and logistics capabilities are getting more and more critical for the success of logistics service providers. For this reason, it is aimed to determine the attitudes of senior managers who are working in the logistics service provider companies in Izmir towards the factors affecting competition. For this purpose, Delphi method, which is a qualitative research method, has been applied in this research. In the first round of Delphi research, 29 factors affecting competition obtained from the literature review have been asked to experts under six groups and a consensus has been tried to be reached. As a result of the first round, for 6 factors a consensus could not be reached, and then the statements have been re-evaluated and detailed, and another Delphi form for second round has been prepared and implemented. According to the findings, t the valuable, sense of market opportunities and sensitivity to the market, the ability to integrate employees' knowledge and skills with the routines of their operations, after-sales service and reliability which are the factors affecting competition for logistics service providers have been fully agreed upon by logistics service providers. All factors related to dynamic capabilities approach associated with competition in the literature have been considered important by logistics service providers. There has no consensus on the factors related to threats / barriers faced by new entrants in the logistics sector and bargaining power of service buyers.
