“…However, slow steaming and synchro-modality are high on the European Commission's research agenda and supported through funding for research and development and the European Technology Platform ALICE [15]. In particular, in [9], the focus is set on an easy-to-use tool enabling the assessment of different transport modes, in terms of time, cost, and emission, for a given destination. In [8], the authors investigate the collaboration and cooperation among different stakeholders as a crucial aspect to enhance the integrated use of different modalities in intermodal freight transportation.…”

“…This behavior can be imputed to several causes, but one of the main ones is a lack of global business development vision and a coordination of the technical aspects with the business development. In fact, as witnessed by the recent literature, the researchers are focusing on the technical, Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) and Optimization aspects disregarding the link with the strategic decision processes of the actors involved [7][8][9]. This is bringing to a fracture between the value proposition of the projects and the needs of stakeholders and companies, with the risk of a delayed exploitation of the results [5].…”

Abstract:The logistics sector faces substantial challenges in meeting customer demands for higher service quality, speed and flexibility under conditions of continued growth in world trade and worldwide transportation movements, increasing distances and vulnerabilities of the supply chain. Additional challenges relate to the economic and environmental sustainability of logistics operations. While a lot of attention was devoted in the past decades to the operational and technical aspects, the business development phase has been put aside, causing the market failure of several projects. The paper presents the SYNCHRO-modal supply chain eco-NET (SYNCHRO-NET) project, which will demonstrate the effectiveness of slow steaming combined with synchro-modality in reducing the cost and the emissions of international supply chains and improving reliability and sustainability through the optimization of the planning process. Differently from other similar projects, SYNCHRO-NET combines operational aspects with a business perspective and represents a stakeholder-driven approach aimed at developing a close-to-market solution over the timeframe of the project.

“…According to the above-mentioned, research on scientific and professional literature has been expanded upon, in the use of DS in maritime spatial planning, and it has been noted that most of the research was related to DS usage in the berth allocation problem [27][28][29][30][31][32][33][34][35][36]. None of these authors conducted studies in which all affected groups (government, experts, and users) were involved in the strategy selection, and none of them gave a solution for the spatial plan design for the development of anchorage capacities with the approach of DSC as a proven high quality "tool" for decision-makers dealing with this issue.…”

“…This can be coped with the fact that most countries have just started to apply MSP. The application of DS in MSP has been found in papers dealing with the protection of environment, ecology, biodiversity, coastal, and seabed habitat features [19][20][21][22][23][24][25][26], marine traffic [27][28][29][30][31][32][33][34][35][36], anchorage planning strategy [37], and site identification (selection) [38][39][40]. It can be concluded that most of the papers, in which DSS is used in the planning of various activities in MSP, are based on ecological issues, and on the issue of regulating traffic within maritime industrial ports, but not with the development of spatial plans, and especially not with plans related to the construction of anchorages as a civil engineering problem.…”

The planning of nautical tourism development and especially, the planning of its supporting infrastructure development, is important topic of the maritime spatial planning. The focus of research is the integration of multicriteria analysis and stakeholders within concept modeling that will provide support to the spatial planning specialists in the design of plans related to the development of anchorage capacities for small vessels. It examines economic, environmental, ecological, social, and civil engineering concerns related to the use of coastal water. It is a complex and ill-defined civil engineering problem because of multiple stakeholders with diverse interests, numerous conflicting goals and criteria, huge quantities of information and data, limited resources, etc. The research is concentrated on an integral approach to sustainable decision-making within maritime spatial planning by the modeling decision support concept to the processes of identification, validation, comparison, and the selection of locations for anchorage construction, based on multicriteria methods, goal analysis, and the logic of the decision support system. The concept is tested on the island of Šolta, Croatia, and has been proven as being an applicable, consistent, efficient, and effective methodology for the planning of the anchorage locations.

“…Even though the problem of technical efficiency of maritime container terminal is widely analysed (see e.g. : Almawsheki & Shah, 2015;Cullinane et al, 2002;Jiang & Li, 2009;Kutin et al, 2017;Tongzon, 2001;Zheng & Park, 2016), and some researchers focus on developing port performance indicators (Di Vaio et al, 2018), technical port efficiency (Lopez-Bermudez et al, 2019) or decision support tools for container terminals (Kapetanis et al, 2016), there is a lack of proper models for overall economic efficiency evaluation in the literature.…”

Motivation: Maritime container terminals play an important role in global as well as local supply chains. Especially, maritime container terminals can be perceived as essential transhipment points, which integrate other transport modes through a set of management (e.g. planning, controlling) and executive activities (e.g. reloading, handling). All these activities require the support of an adequate management system, focusing on continuous improvement of the maritime container economic efficiency. To meet this requirement an economic efficiency evaluation system is needed, which will be responsible for the assessment of maritime container terminals' activities, mainly according to such economic criteria as time and cost efficiency. In the literature some papers can be found, which are focused on the technical efficiency evaluation systems for the maritime container terminals based on parametrical methods. However, the literature does not cover the problem of proper economic efficiency evaluation system, designed for maritime container terminals. Aim: Based on the above mentioned reasons, the purpose of the article is to develop a system of economic efficiency evaluation for maritime container terminals. Results: Based on the research findings a conceptual model of economic efficiency evaluation system for the maritime container terminals is presented in the article.ORIGINAL ARTICLE
