A.P. Moller-Maersk Group (A.P. Moller-Maersk AS in Danish), commonly known as Maersk, is the world's largest global shipping conglomerate from Denmark and carries a rich history and corporate heritage in the industry. The company operates large container ships which are mostly known as "big box boats" in the industry. By using interdisciplinary literature and the shipping industry's operational routes and corporate developments, this case-based research analyzes and discusses Maersk's internationalization and its global strategies. Although Maersk aggressively sought internationalization and company-specific expansion, its global strategy and international expansion areas have encountered problems because of the slowdown of the global economy, de-globalization, and the U.S.-China trade tussle. The case-based research analyzes and discusses these issues within the areas of international business and the company's global strategies and industry-specific competition. Analystsand industry observers believe that Maersk will continue to be a major shipping and logistics firm and will thrive in global markets. At the same time, the company will be impacted by the changing competition, regulatory forces, and new technologies in logistics and global shipping. This case study also provides future developments and growth prospects of Maersk and the shipping industry. K E Y W O R D Scontainerization, containers, global strategy, Maersk, shipping industry

“…Bang et al (2014) add information on ship size and number of competing shipping lines per string (whereas LSCI 'just' uses the number of shipping lines that provide services to/from a country, regardless of the trade). Jiang et al (2015) add a method to include indirect connectivity through transshipment of containers in intermediate ports. These additions clearly show the interest in further advancing maritime connectivity indicators.…”

Port connectivity indices: an application to European RoRo shipping

et al. 2016

In recent years, there has been significant interest in the development of connectivity indicators for ports. For short sea shipping, especially in Europe, Roll-on Roll-off (RoRo) shipping is almost equally important as container shipping. In contrast with container shipping, RoRo shipments are primarily direct, thus the measurement of its connectivity requires a different methodology. In this paper, we present a methodology for measuring the RoRo connectivity of ports and illustrate its use through an application to European RoRo shipping. We apply the methodology on data collected from 23 different RoRo shipping service providers concerning 620 unique routes connecting 148 ports. We characterize the connectivity of the ports in our sample and analyze the results. We show that in terms of RoRo connectivity, neither the number of links nor the link quality (frequency, number of competing providers, minimum number of indirect stops) strictly dominate the results of our proposed indicator. The highest ranking ports combine link quality and number. Finally, we highlight promising areas for future research based on the insights obtained.

A competitividade de um Porto está intimamente relacionada às decisões de seleção do porto pelos transportadores e, em geral, os portos que fornecem serviços mais confiáveis, eficientes e econômicos revelam-se mais atrativos (JIANG et al, 2015), (TALLEY e NG, 2013).…”

Os indicadores de desempenho são cruciais na gestão estratégica e dos processos de uma organização, podendo ser medido de diversas maneiras e em diferentes níveis de complexidades. Os terminais de contêineres, que são os responsáveis pela conexão entre os modais marítimo e terrestre, constituem um elemento central em qualquer sistema de transporte, considerando diversas variáveis operacionais a fim de obter melhores performances. Com isto, a pesquisa busca verificar na literatura se existe um conjunto de indicadores operacionais padrão para medir a eficiência dos terminais de contêineres. O objetivo do artigo é determinar os indicadores operacionais mais relevantes dos terminais de contêineres, por meio de uma revisão sistemática realizada nas bases de dados Emerald, Scopus e Periódicos Capes, no período entre 2010 e 2016, apresentando os indicadores de referência. Como resultado da pesquisa, obteve-se um conjunto com 40 indicadores operacionais; estes podem ser utilizados como direcionadores para a gestão por indicadores com foco operacional em terminais de contêineres. PALAVRAS-CHAVE:Indicadores. Terminal de contêiner. Operacional.
