Traffic consolidation in East Asian container ports: a network flow analysis. (2014)
Journal Article
Wang, Y., & Cullinane, K. (2014). Traffic consolidation in East Asian container ports: a network flow analysis. Transportation research. Part A, Policy and practice, 61, 152-163. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.tra.2014.01.007

The proliferation of hub-and-spoke operations in maritime container transportation has resulted in the widespread consolidation of traffic flows. Utilising liner shipping network configurations, this paper assesses the impact of freight traffic conso...

Rosyth-Zeebrugge: a potential intermodal maritime logistics corridor for Scottish freight transportation. (2013)
Presentation / Conference
Wang, Y., Mathie, I., & Monios, J. (2013, July). Rosyth-Zeebrugge: a potential intermodal maritime logistics corridor for Scottish freight transportation. Paper presented at 26th European Conference on Operation Research

The majority of freight originated from Scotland is trucked south to go via Channel Tunnel or ports in Southeast England. As Scotland’s only ferry connection to mainland Europe, however, the service between Rosyth and Zeegrugge is struggling with ins...

The hierarchical configuration of the container port industry: an application of multiple linkage analysis (2012)
Journal Article
Cullinane, K., & Wang, Y. (2012). The hierarchical configuration of the container port industry: an application of multiple linkage analysis. Maritime Policy and Management, 39, 169-187. https://doi.org/10.1080/03088839.2011.650719

This paper aims to provide a hierarchical configuration of the container port industry. It attempts to do so by determining a port hierarchy and then, utilising this, deriving the nature of the spatial interactions between sample ports in East Asia....

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.

Measuring container port accessibility: An Application of the Principal Eigenvector Method (PEM) (2008)
Journal Article
Wang, Y., & Cullinane, K. (2008). Measuring container port accessibility: An Application of the Principal Eigenvector Method (PEM). Maritime Economics and Logistics, 10, 75-89. https://doi.org/10.1057/palgrave.mel.9100192

Container port accessibility examines the potential or opportunity for the transportation of containerised cargoes within the global liner shipping network. It is also a particularly relevant aspect of port competitiveness since, as previous studies...
