Year: 2011 Language: English Author: Theo Notteboom Publisher: ASP ISBN: 9789054878582 Format: PDF Quality: eBook Pages count: 608 Description: Shipping, port and logistics activities are indispensable in today’s global economy. They are a major source of added value creation and employment and have an important role to play in facilitating global trade. At the same time these activities need to be embedded in their local multi-stakeholder environment. Rising globalisation with powerful and relatively footloose players, extensive business networks and complex production and consumption patterns have a dramatic impact on freight transport and related logistics. The new environment creates a high degree of uncertainty and leaves managers active in shipping, ports or broader supply chain management with the question on how to respond effectively to market dynamics and regulatory issues. The shipping, port and logistics industry is challenged to be efficient and to expand its services in line with increased customer requirements while at the same time lowering the environmental footprint and guaranteeing high security and safety standards. This book bears the title ‘Current Issues in Shipping, Ports and Logistics’. With this book the contributors unravel some of the most pressing challenges to shipping, ports and logistics, so as to advance and update our thinking on the developments in this field. This book brings together 31 contributions from a team of more than 50 authors. The scholars involved are coming from 14 nations and six continents giving the book a truly international view on the challenges to shipping, ports and logistics. The book covers five parts: current issues in shipping, current issues in the analysis of flows and networks, current issues in terminal operations and performance, current issues in logistics and current issues in port development and governance. Most of the contributions in this book were presented during the Asian Logistics Round Table conference held in Antwerp on 2 and 3 December 2010 (www.ua.ac.be/alrt2010). The conference was organized by the Institute of Transport and Maritime Management Antwerp (ITMMA) of the University of Antwerp (www.itmma.ua.ac.be) with the support of the Antwerp Port Authority (www.portofantwerp.com). Marc Van Peel, President of the Antwerp Port Authority, and Eddy Bruyninckx, CEO of the Antwerp Port Authority, personally saw to it that the conference could be held at the ‘Harbour House’, the headquarters of the port of Antwerp. PortEconomics.eu acted as a supporting organization.
