“…Strong winds can dramatically impair the ability of a vessel to stay on course, as a consequence of the strong forces exerted on the ship's slab side of large container vessels, cruise ships, and car carriers (Athanasatos et al, 2014). Fog, for example, has delayed the transit of over 428 vessels in 2014, 121 more than in 2013.…”

As key links in transportation and supply chains, the effect of climate change on seaports has broad implications for the development prospects of the global economy. However, the picture is very uncertain because t he impacts of climate change will be felt very differently around the world, both positively and negatively. This book addresses the need for quality theoretical analysis, highly innovative assessment methodologies and insightful empirical global experiences so as to identify the best international practices, planning and appropriate policies to effectively adapt to, develop resilience to and, indeed, benefi t from the impacts posed by climate change on transportation and supply chains.With contributions from reputable scholars, inter-governmental organizations and senior professionals in transportation and supply chains coming from fi ve continents, this book investigates climate change, adaptation strategies and planning of transportation and supply chains from different angles. It encourages innovative and effective solutions in developing adaptation measures and resilience by ports, transportation and supply chains to climate change. This book will be essential for anyone interested in understanding climate change and its impacts on transportation and supply chain infrastructures, as well as the effective ways to adapt to such impacts.

“…For instance, the subsystems include (1) navigation and berthing, (2) materials and handling, (3) vehicles and movement, (4) goods storage and (5) transport and supply chain. Then the risk and impact analysis were conducted for each subsystem [3,17,19]. Gou and Lam [13] integrated breaking-down the operation process and State Transition model to analyze risk of marine cargoes and ports to natural hazards.…”

The China-U.S. trade war between the world's two largest economies has received increasing attention. Due to the existing interdependencies within economic sectors, the trade war could bring about ripple effects and cause more damaging impacts than intuitive thoughts. By integrating Inoperability Input-output Model (IIM) and Partial Least Squares Regression (PLSR), we developed a hierarchic IIM-PLSR framework in this study to unravel the ripple effects of the China-U.S. trade war on volume of Chinese containerized exports. The results show that the China-U.S. trade war will affect the operability and output value of not only the tariff-targeted industries but the other interdependent industries. Contrary to expectations, the results show that the China-U.S. Trade War have an insignificant influence on the volume of containerized exports. Even in the worst scenario, the reduction percentage of containerized exports due to China-U.S. trade war is only 0.335%. This study brings fresh insights to stakeholders in the port industry for the implementation of rational port planning policies.

“…This congestion sprouts from the country's significantly increased global trading activities (Ke, Li, and Hipel 2012). Athanasatos, Michaelides, and Papadakis (2014) investigated the effect of extreme weather conditions on the productivity of the Port of Limassol, which is the largest port on the island of Cyprus in the Mediterranean. They discovered that various weather factors hindered its productivity.…”

The South African maritime industry suffers from a number of risks, with the most prominent source of risk stemming from congestion within port terminals. The Port of Cape Town is one of South Africa’s main ports. Two of the risks faced by the Cape Town Container Terminal (CTCT) and associated with port congestion are adverse weather and system challenges. The study investigated the current frequency and scheduling impact of weather- and system-related congestion experienced by ocean carriers in the CTCT. This study was conducted in two phases, namely exploratory secondary research, followed by primary research. The secondary research provided background information and historical data on the Port of Cape Town, the CTCT, and congestion in South Africa’s ports as well as global port congestion. In addition, the primary data collected, which comprised personal interviews and email correspondence, were used to analyse current port congestion within the CTCT and to develop risk profiles. The major findings of this study indicate that both weather- and system-related port congestion are ranked as major risks occurring between 2011 and 2018 in the CTCT, suggesting that greater risk mitigation strategies should be implemented. This risk ranking will likely worsen in the future, if mitigation strategies are not improved. The study classifies weather- and system-related port congestion in the CTCT in terms of the level of risk and helps identify which areas management should focus on to mitigate greater levels of risk in the future.
