Liner shipping alliance management: Overview and future research directions

Impacts of the COVID-19 epidemic on carbon emissions from international shipping

“…Indeed, many scholars have discussed the impacts of the COVID-19 epidemic on the shipping industry ( Pan et al, 2022 ; Xu et al, 2022c ; Zhou et al, 2022 , Zhou et al, 2022 , Zhou et al, 2022 ). However, the previous researchers focused on the shock of the COVID-19 epidemic on the port performance and shipping network, which can be thought to be the important factors of long-term trend in carbon emission from vessel-source pollution ( Xu et al, 2021c ; Bandyopadhyay and Bhatnagar, 2023 ; Wang et al, 2022 , Wang et al, 2022a , Wang et al, 2022b ; Zhou et al, 2022 , Zhou et al, 2022 , Zhou et al, 2022 ; Chen et al, 2022c ). On this basis, there existed a discussion on carbon emissions in Western Singapore caused by marine traffic during the COVID-19 epidemic ( Ju and Hargreaves, 2021 ).…”

Port governance in the post COVID-19 pandemic era: Heterogeneous service and collusive incentive

“…With the increasing demand of maritime logistics and whole supply chain, there are two main kinds of integration of shipping companies. One is horizontal integration ( Jiang and Li, 2021 ), of which the representative is a shipping alliance ( Chen et al, 2021 , 2022 ). It is formed by liner companies via various cooperation agreements in shipping services, such as complementing routes and docking ports, coordinating shipping schedules, leasing shipping space, sharing information on transportation auxiliary services, building and sharing wharves and yards, and sharing inland logistics systems.…”

A Study on the Han-Hai Fleet Slot Mutual Chartering Model of Han-Shen Line Based on Linear Alliance

“…New forms of cooperative agreements will improve liner shipping and ocean container terminal operations. Chen et al provide a systematic overview of research on liner shipping alliance management, including forming alliances, selecting partners, and designing cooperative mechanisms (Chen et al 2022). This has similarities with Dulebenets' research on alliances.…”
