“…Stakeholder management at the level of TOCs remains scanty, indicating more attentions should be made for investigating their roles that are significantly important in the landlord port model. There is a clear recognition that TOCs (or terminal) are a key resource in the PA's concerns to meet needs of port users' (especially shipping lines) (Heaver et al, 2001;Robinson, 2002;Song and Panayides, 2008;Lee and Hu, 2012;Hales et al, 2017). In this regard, this study treats TOCs as a key player in the CTLs system and their performance needs to be measured by taking perspectives from different stakeholders.…”

This study proposes a measurement instrument for port performance in the context of container transport logistics (CTLs) by taking perspectives from different port stakeholders. An importance-performance analysis (IPA) is used to develop an analytical tool for investigating the importance and performance (IP) of major container ports in South Korea against individual CTLs criterion. The main originality of this study is the development of a measurement instrument to provide managerial and operational insights to both port managers (i.e. terminal operating companies) and policy makers (i.e. port authorities and government) for stakeholder management in CTLs. The analysis helps port managers and policy makers to converge the different objectives and concerns for better management.

“…These new connections can be described by a new lexicography that includes countries but also covers entities like cities, commonwealths, communities, and companies. These new entities compete with each other to spawn even more amazing boosts in investments for infrastructure (for competition of ports, see Hales et al 2017).…”

“…Another intrinsic characteristic of CSC is the "Competition and Cooperation". The impact of port strategies to have front foot in the competitive environment is discussed in Hales et al (2017). This is helpful to achieve the economies of scale with high operational efficiency and service effectiveness (Lee & Song, 2017).…”

PurposeThe literature on Maritime Transportation (MT) is experiencing a transition phase where the focus of the research is repositioning. It registered steep growth in recent years with its beginning articles on the concepts of cost minimization to the current focus on achieving sustainable operational effectiveness using Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs). Thus, this becomes a right time to investigate the trajectory of research on MT.Design/methodology/approachThe proposed study aims to explore the potential of data analytics techniques such as data mining and network analytics to reflect the trajectory of research in the maritime supply chain over time. This study identifies the eight main dimensions of the research published under maritime paradigm through network analytics. The in-depth review of these dimensions rendered us to segregate them further into sub-dimensions for the ease of understanding and interpretability. Further, the text mining is employed to extract thematic evolution of the research.FindingsThe evolved themes are completely exclusive from the conventional MT research with artificial intelligence, digital storage, waste management and biofuels emerging as contemporary themes. It is found that although there are a sufficient amount of literature on sustainable port practices but their policy implications are still underexplored. The inter-dimension research is needed to achieve the motive of economic efficiency and environmental sustainability simultaneously.Originality/valueThe study has contributed on the methodology side of conducting literature reviews. The dimensions, sub-dimensions and themes are obtained using data analytics tools and techniques. This omits the possibility of personal bias and thus making the results verifiable.
