“…Other scholars have explored collusion practices between carriers and pertinent enterprises such as inland freight forwarders and shipping lines [32,33]. Paridaens and Notteboom [27] analyzed recent developments in the strategic routes of three shipping companies amid logistics integration and presented empirical findings. Zhou et al [43] designed a hub-and-spoke network for the convenience of container ships' movement in the CSSC.…”

To investigate the long-term effects of the Port Authority’s supervision strategies on the container terminal’s collusion strategies, this study constructs a two-sided evolutionary game model consists of the Port Authority and a container terminal based on evolutionary game theory which usually examine a game’s long-term trends. Under the premise that the container terminal’s net profits from collusion strategy are greater than those from non-collusion strategy, the stability analysis demonstrates that the container terminal tend to choose collusion strategy, and the Port Authority tends to choose lax supervision strategy when the fine received by the container terminal is less than the Port Authority’s cost; the container terminal tends to choose collusion strategy, and the Port Authority tends to choose strict supervision strategy when the fine received by the container terminal is greater than the Port Authority’s cost and the sum of the fine and subsidy is less than the difference in the container terminal’s profits from collusion strategies. Finally, the numerical simulation results confirm the robustness of the stability analysis. These results can guide and benefit relevant stakeholders in the sustainable development of the container shipping supply chain.

“…The scattered nature of research on various aspects of ports, ships, and fuel, as mentioned above and as observed by Song et al [13], is a primary cause of the inefficiency of shipping optimization models. Gülmez et al [14] and Paridaens et al [15] separately examined and studied the classification of maritime logistics and the integration of shipping logistics, and they concurred that integrating each logistics link in shipping would be a key research direction in the future. Simultaneously, ocean transportation-induced environmental pollution has sparked concern, leading to heightened international expectations regarding carbon emission issues [16].…”

In response to the optimal operation of ocean container ships, this paper presents a two-level planning model that takes into account carbon tax policies. This model translates the CO2 emissions of ships into carbon tax costs and aims to minimize the overall operation costs of the ships. In top-level planning, the model considers factors such as speed, cargo load, and energy consumption to establish an objective function and optimization strategy. In bottom-level planning, the model involves ship stability and imposes corresponding constraints. By integrating the two levels of planning, a ship operation optimization model that considers multiple factors is obtained. With practical ocean container ships as cases, through numerical examples and sensitivity analysis, the constraint, stability, and structural feasibility of the constructed model are confirmed. The research results of this paper provide a decision-making basis for optimizing the operation of oceanic container ships.

“…Although not all shipping lines are moving in this direction, an attempt to provide full logistics services to clients is a trend among most truly global firms (MSC, Maersk, CMA CGM and COSCO). This changes the balance of power in logistics industries, as shippers, rather than diversifying transport services between many firms, may focus on one door-to-door provider; at least that is the hope of shipping lines in a search for stability in an otherwise volatile market environment with few long-term contracts (Paridaens and Notteboom 2022). For instance, the recent move by Vestas, a Danish windmill manufacturer, to have all their containerized transport services provided by Maersk, represents a shift in supply change strategies from global firms 4 .…”

“…Logistics services is a less consolidated industry with more growth opportunities. This has meant shipping lines investing in port terminals, ports hinterlands in the form of warehousing and trucking, as well as multimodal transport (airfreight and train freight) and even last mile logistics (Paridaens and Notteboom 2022). At the same time, very large vessels in the shipping industry have led to few ports becoming key hubs in the global shipping network, giving more power to the big shipping lines in their choice of which ports to call at (Notteboom and Rodrigue 2023;.…”

Who Rules the Waves in the 21st Century? The International Political Economy of Global Shipping

As geoeconomic competition intensifies, trade and investment relations between China and other industrialized nations have been put into question. As the key infrastructure of trade, shipping is a source of economic and political power in the global economy. Shipping is key for economic development and the facilitation of economic globalization. Shipping and naval superiority also play a role in power projections by states in the international arena. This is complicated by the fact that shipping services are a market with an ill-defined jurisdictional paradigm, its own dynamics of wealth creation, peculiar firm competition, and its own crisis tendencies. Global political conflicts have reflected on to the shipping industry on several occasions, closures in the Suez Canal or strikes in ports represent instances of the interrelation between political economy and shipping markets. This dissertation contributes to the literature on the economic and political consequences of global investments in infrastructures by exploring complex state-capital relationships in the global shipping and logistics industries. Following the shipping industry makes it clear the ways in which capital accumulation (and crisis thereof) in transport markets affect the international political economy and vice-versa. Empirically, this dissertation studies the underlying socio-economic processes of the China challenge to ‘the freedom of the seas’ shipping regime upheld by American naval superiority post WWII. In doing so, this dissertation demonstrates the domestic political economy reasons for the expansion of transportation infrastructures and logistics markets within and outside China as a state strategy to rebalance the Chinese economy. The dissertation then showcases the effects Chinese policy has in other countries, both economically and politically, through the study of investments within the Maritime Silk Road initiative in Europe and the synergies between Chinese and European states’ strategies for logistics development. Finally, the dissertation explores the geoeconomic consequences of Chinese expansion in global shipping markets, which has led states recalibrate geoeconomic calculations in the global economy.
