“…In the second step, the COM-B model was used. The choice of COM-B is justified because recent publications, including the IMO's JIT study, emphasize the role of behavioral factors as the primary hindrance to JIT implementation (Heaver, 2021;Senss et al, 2023;IMO, 2020). Adopting a behavioral lens, like the COM-B, is appropriate for addressing these behavioral aspects and navigating the multifaceted transition from FCFS to the PBP and JIT.…”

PurposeJust-in-Time (JIT) arrival in the context of port calls can be used to reduce fuel and emissions to achieve environmental targets. The purpose of this paper is to study the implementation process of the Pre-booking Berth Allocation Policy (PBP) and analyze the effectiveness of this policy for the implementation of JIT in port calls.Design/methodology/approachThe study deploys a single case study approach to empirically analyze port authority’s transition from a first-come-first-served (FCFS) arrival policy to the PBP. Observations, interviews and documents were used to collect data during 2020–2022. The analysis deployed the capability, opportunity, motivation and behavior model.FindingsThe transition from FCFS to PBP requires an inter-organizational approach, engaging external actors to manage diverse needs and preferences. This fosters effective transition and addresses conflicting interests. The PBP enables JIT arrival, enhancing operational and environmental performance, but faces barriers such as resource dependency and lack of trust. Information sharing capability among the actors, supported by Port Community Systems and adjusted operating rules, is crucial. Moreover, the PBP facilitates integration between sea and hinterland transportation, improving planning and efficiency across maritime transportation chains.Research limitations/implicationsThe single case study limits the generalizability of the findings.Practical implicationsImplementing the PBP is complex and demands careful planning from managers. Involving port call actors in the transition is helpful for port managers because they provide valuable feedback and highlight overlooked issues.Originality/valueFive propositions are suggested to highlight the role of inter-organizational collaboration, information sharing and overcoming barriers such as resource dependency to successfully realize the benefits of JIT in maritime transportation chains.

“…In November 2021, the Clydebank Declaration for green shipping corridors was agreed upon 40 , which will see countries working towards a net-zero goal for global maritime shipping. Yet to achieve more sustainable and lower-impact shipping corridors, the hidden costs of ship anchoring must be incorporated into future global trade strategies 15 .…”

With the COVID-19 pandemic came what media has deemed the “port congestion pandemic”. Intensified by the pandemic, the commonplace anchoring of high-tonnage ships causes a substantial geomorphologial footprint on the seabed outside marine ports globally, but isn’t yet quantified. We present the first characterisation of the footprint and extent of anchoring in a low congestion port in New Zealand-Aotearoa, demonstrating that high-tonnage ship anchors excavate the seabed by up to 80 cm, with the impacts preserved for at least 4 years. The calcuated volume of sediment displaced by one high-tonnage ship (> 9000 Gross Tonnage) on anchor can reach 2800 m3. Scaled-up globally, this provides the first estimates of the footprint of anchoring to the coastal seabed, worldwide. Seafloor damage due to anchoring has far-reaching implications for already stressed marine ecosystems and carbon cycling. As seaborne trade is projected to quadruple by 2050, the poorly constrained impacts of anchoring must be considered to avoid irreversible damage to marine habitats.
