Generally, an evaluation of container port competitiveness is regarded as a multiple criteria decision-making (MCDM) problem which involves various stakeholders with conflicting interests. To solve MCDM problems, the analytic hierarchy process (AHP)... Read More about Weighting the competitiveness factors for container ports under conflicting interests.

The aim of this article is to define and empirically develop measures of seaport integration in global supply chains and to infer implications for maritime logistics. A literature review identified four key parameters hypothesised to be part of the h... Read More about Port integration in global supply chains: measures and implications for maritime logistics.

Impact of speed change on estimated journey time: Failure of drivers to appreciate relevance of initial speed. (2009)
Journal Article
Fuller, R., Gormley, M., Stradling, S., Broughton, P., Kinnear, N., O'Dolan, C., & Hannigan, B. (2009). Impact of speed change on estimated journey time: Failure of drivers to appreciate relevance of initial speed. Accident analysis and prevention, 41, 10-14. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.aap.2008.07.013

Higher speeds are associated with increases in the probability of crashing and the severity of the outcome. Logically drivers speed to save time, and research evidence supports this assertion. It is therefore important to investigate drivers’ underst... Read More about Impact of speed change on estimated journey time: Failure of drivers to appreciate relevance of initial speed..

A capacity-based measure of container port accessibility (2009)
Journal Article
Cullinane, K., & Wang, Y. (2009). A capacity-based measure of container port accessibility. International Journal of Logistics Research and Applications, 12, 103-117. https://doi.org/10.1080/13675560902749340

Exacerbated by a global trend towards greater market concentration in shipping and port operation, competition between container ports has intensified. In evaluating port competitiveness, minimal consideration has been given to the accessibility of i... Read More about A capacity-based measure of container port accessibility.
