“…Indeed, DEA is used by several authors in our sample (Wu, Yan, and Li 2010;Bichou 2011;Rios and de Sousa 2014) for performance evaluation of ports in different geographical contexts, a trend that we can also witness in recent literature outside of our data sample (e.g. (Omrani 2016;Yu and Chen 2016)).…”

Based on an analysis of 253 related papers drawn from the Web of Science database, this study examines holistic sustainability research in liner shipping management literature using a citation network analysis (CNA) approach followed by a qualitative analysis of findings. We identify four major research domains, namely shipping performance, port selection and management, shipping markets, and environment, as well as related sub-domains of shipping performance. We discuss the current research trends and focal issues in these domains with a focus on their implications for policy development. Our results indicate that while the sustainability discourse in the literature has developed and matured significantly over the last decade, generating valuable insights for practitioners and regulators alike, it still struggles with blurry terminology and a lack of holistic frameworks jointly addressing the different aspects of sustainability: Economic considerations of liner shipping are still the main concern, while environmental and social issues are less regarded in the academic discourse. Furthermore, we identify a dearth of studies rooted in managerial or economic theory. In this regard, our study provides insights on the scope of the holistic sustainability discourse in liner shipping management, its contributions to theory and practice, and its implications for the further development of policies addressing sustainability in liner shipping management. We advocate further construct development for sustainability in liner shipping, as well as empirical tests of the antecedents of sustainability practice adoption in the industry for future research.

“…Given the imprecise CO 2 data, Wei et al (2021) applied the stochastic multi‐criteria acceptability approach to evaluate the energy and environmental efficiency of the Chinese transportation sector. Omrani and Keshavarz (2016) evaluated the energy efficiency of 20 provinces in Iran using DEA and cooperative game approach. Chen et al (2021) estimated the ecological impacts on energy efficiency in 30 provinces of China from 2005 to 2016 using a four‐stage non‐radial DDF approach.…”

This paper presents a comprehensive measure of fuel performance, considering economic and environmental factors using Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA). The study uses decentralized production approach, modeling two technology specifications, one with abatement and one without. The study focuses on the Indian public bus transport industry, treating carbon emissions as bad outputs with joint disposability alongside fossil fuels. Additionally, it examines fuel performance drivers through bootstrapped truncated regression. The findings reveal that maintenance practices and vehicle age negatively affect fuel performance, with the latter showing a non‐linear influence. As fuel prices rise, bus company managers increasingly adopt fuel‐saving practices.

“…Therefore, the network DEA model can provide more meaningful and reliable efficiency analysis results than existing DEA models. With these benefits, the network DEA model has been used to measure operational efficiency in transport and logistics industrial fields such as airlines (e.g., Zhu [30], Lozano and Gutiérrez [31], Zhang et al [32]), airports (e.g., Lozano et al [33]), supply chain management (e.g., Chen and Yan [34], Momeni et al [35], Omrani and Keshavarz [36], Kahi et al [37]), port (e.g., Wanke [38]), railway (e.g., Yu and Lin [39]), public transit (Hahn et al [40]), etc.…”

Safety is a key performance indicator for the sustainable management of a coastal ferry service business. An efficiency strategy that balances safety and transport performance should be considered. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the relative transport efficiency of coastal ferry operators through undesirable safety-related output. Coastal ferry operators create added value through logistics activities such as cargo and passenger transport. Accordingly, this study designed a three-stage network-slacks-based measure (SBM) model that delineated production through ferry transport services such as service generation, service execution, and transport value creation. Detention records and marine accidents caused by human errors or technical faults were considered undesirable safety-related outputs. Moreover, the relative transport efficiency of 23 Korean firms that have continuously managed a coastal ferry transport business from 2015 to 2018 was analyzed. The results showed that the differentiation of transport efficiency of firms improved when applying the three-stage network SBM model compared to applying the SBM model that did not consider the internal production stage. This fact suggests that it is more desirable to apply the three-stage network SBM model proposed in this study when a more stringent comparison of transport performance is needed in terms of service quality.
