“…Modern ports have generally experienced rapid developments in becoming inter-linking points for different modes of transport; hence accelerators of inter-modal transport integration. Mangan et al (2008) joined others such as Pando et al (2005) and Beresford et al (2004) in supporting the view that in addition to the traditional role of freight transhipment, there are various adaptable roles ports can play within the supply chain in a bid to reach and satisfy the ever-dynamic expectations and demands of port users. Given the position of ports in the distribution of materials and products, they have consequently become nodes for the integration of various global supply chains.…”

This paper examines the potential contribution of value-adding services (VAS) to port logistics strategy development in order to enhance competitiveness in the face of increasing competition between ports. Based on an empirical study taking the critical-realist approach of mixed methods' research and using data from multiple case-study ports in both developed and developing countries, the relevance and deployment of value-adding services are assessed with a view to facilitating port strategy decisions. This study addresses the paucity of VAS investigations in the maritime logistics literature and examines the potential contribution of VAS to port competitiveness from the perspective of port users. Results demonstrate that the most readily available and accessible value-adding services are transport services, followed by warehousing and water supplies. The paper concludes that value-adding services have the potential to both attract port users and retain them.

“…Beresford et al [4] reviews port development and conclude that ports need to be proactive to challenges rather that reactive, which in terms of terminal production can be faster and better customer service, by providing customers with precise information relevant to them. Ports are generally subject to incremental development going towards more integrated systems, supported by ICT.…”

Abstract. In modern industry there are well defined methods for planning and optimising the efficiency of the production. However, when looking at supply chain operations there are often problems with lack of communication and planning between nodes. By not communicating the risk of creating non-value adding work also increases as the organisations becomes less synchronised. Therefore the focus in this paper is on how information can improve the performance of a container terminal. It was found that information relating to the containers is currently not widely used. Further it was found that there are improvements to be found in terms of reducing non-value adding activities by utilising information sharing.

Preliminary communicationProductivity at the berth is one from the group of port productivity measures which is closely tied to ship turnaround times. Gross berth productivity between a ship's arrival and departure from berth is among the broadest definitions of productivity. Net berth productivity is value of productivity related to the operational time at the berth. Based on the recognized facts from available literature about minor share of researches related to the berth productivity in the handling process with dry bulk cargoes in a multipurpose seaport, it was decided to take this port productivity metrics as an object of a research. Concrete results shown in this paper are related to the Dry Bulk Cargo Terminal in the Port of Bar. By the consideration done in this paper is confirmed starting hypothesis about significant differences between gross and net berth productivity (about significant share of nonoperational time in the total berthing time). Keywords: berth; productivity; ship turnaround timeNeki aspekti analize produktivnosti pri pretovaru suhih rasutih tereta u višenamjenskoj morskoj luci Prethodno priopćenje Produktivnost na vezu je jedno od mjerila produktivnosti u procesu lučkog pretovara koje je direktno povezano s vremenom opsluživanja broda u luci. Bruto produktivnost na vezu, koja se odnosi na ukupno vrijeme boravka broda na vezu, spada u grupu najopćijih definicija produktivnosti. Neto produktivnost na vezu se odnosi na dio vremena boravka broda na vezu tijekom kojeg se provode pretovarne operacije. Osnovni motiv za pokretanje istraživanja čiji su rezultati prikazani u članku je činjenica, utvrđena analizom dostupne literature, da je učešće razmatranja produktivnosti pri pretovaru suhih rasutih tereta u viešnamjenskim morskim lukama na jako niskoj razini. Dominiraju istraživanja koja se odnose na produktivnot u procesu pretovara kontejnera. U članku prezentirani rezultati se odnose na Terminal za suhe rasute terete u Luci Bar. Razmatranjima koja su sprovedena je potvrđena polazna hipoteza istraživanja o postojanju značajnih razlika između razine bruto i neto produktivnosti na vezu (o značajnom učešću neoperativnog vremena u ukupnom vremenu boravka broda na vezu).
