“…Ho et al (26) proposed the SBM-I-C DEA model to examine and suggest partners for Vietnamese logistics firms to form strategic alliances. Some researchers have used game theory to study the optimal strategy to select alliance members among different organizations, including: cooperation between container companies and ports (27), alliance among logistics companies and producers (28), reverse logistics cooperation between resource-intensive companies and energyintensive companies (29), those among domestic ecommerce companies and foreign logistics companies (30), as well as those among cross-border e-commerce platforms, logistics service providers and merchants (31). The above literature was mainly research on the methods of establishment of specific logistics enterprise alliances.…”

Lack of coordination, mutual independence and disorderly competition among China Railway Express platforms gives rise to high logistics costs; in contrast, horizontal collaboration could form a pool of logistics resources with a scale effect to effectively reduce operating costs. This paper presents a methodology to build a coordinated alliance of China Railway Express platforms in a cost-sharing model. A hybrid approach is proposed, using the gravity model of cross-border logistics, variable-weighted Shapley value, cargo volume decision-making model, and cross-border logistics cost analysis model. Seven China Railway Express platforms in southwest China: Chengdu, Chongqing, Guiyang, Kunming, Liuzhou, Nanning and Zunyi, are selected as examples for empirical analysis. The results demonstrate that alliance is an effective way to control costs, however, issues of railway connectivity can lead to deflection of the optimal alliance and insufficient capacity can affect the stability of the alliance.

“…Most applications are found within roadbased transportation, including transportation in the forestry industry (Frisk et al, 2010), furniture transportation (Audy et al, 2011), freight carriers (Krajewska et al, 2008), and railway transportation (Sherali and Lunday, 2011). The operations research literature on horizontal collaboration within maritime logistics is sparse, but studies on collaborations within liner shipping alliances and on collaborations between ports exists (liner shipping alliances: Song and Panayides (2002), Agarwal and Ergun (2010b), Yang et al (2011); port collaboration: Saeed and Larsen (2010), Xu et al (2015)). While these papers share the maritime application area with the present paper the problems studied and solution methods employed are dierent from ours.…”

The adverse impact of the outbreak of COVID-19 has reduced ports’ operational efficiency. In addition, ports and inland logistics providers are generally independent of each other and difficult to work together, which leads to time loss. Thus, as the core player, ports can integrate with inland logistics providers to improve the efficiency and resilience of maritime supply chains. This study examines the strategic options of two competing maritime supply chains consisting of ports and inland logistics providers. We investigate the impact of cooperation between ports and inland logistics providers and government regulation on the maritime supply chain by comparing members’ optimal pricing and overall social welfare under centralized, decentralized, and hybrid scenarios. Results indicate that the hybrid scenario is an equilibrium strategy for maritime supply chain, although this strategy is not optimal for governments seeking to improve supply chain resilience and maximize social welfare. Furthermore, observations show that through government economic intervention, both seaborne supplies can be incentivized to adopt an integrated strategy, and business and society can achieve a win—win situation.
