Understanding the impact of demand shocks on the container port industry

Abstract: The Covid-19 pandemic has severely impacted the world economy, generating an unprecedented shock that pushed carriers to adapt to the collapse of demand. Most of the related adaptation actions (e.g., blank sailings) appear as temporary initiatives being insufficient to reach a long run equilibrium.

“…Capabilities are also important when knowledge related to the activities in question is partly tacit and team-based and therefore takes significant time to acquire. New research can address supply-side integration in a different approach to customer service that leads to cost savings (Crotti, Ferrari, & Tei, 2022;Xue et al, 2013). Additional research should seek to discover the characteristics of knowledge that generate differences and similarities between activities.…”
