“…As the qualitative expectations for inland services increases, SLs have to meet shipper's and forwarder's requirements in terms of frequency, punctuality, reliability and geographical coverage (Slack et al, 1996). SLs mainly focus on providing intermodal transport services before logistics services (Fremont, 2006). Cargo owners who have strong relations with a liner may prefer the carrier involved in inland transport instead of having to deal with other parties.…”

“…Other important factors identified in the literature are pickup/delivery reliability, door-to-door servic e, schedule reliability, quality service, operational efficiency handling equipment and transit time (Ben-Akiva et al, 2013;Frans oo and Lee, 2013;Frémont, 2009;Larson and Gammelgaard, 2001;Notteboom, 2006b;Yang et al, 2014;Yuen et al, 2015). Voss et al (2006) analysed the significant factors that drove transport service buyers when selecting ocean carrier and found that delivery reliability, rates charged, and carrier reputation were the three most important factors taken into consideration by shippers.…”

The objective of this study i s to identify the most influential factors that affect choice of ocean container carrier by freight forwarders. It identifies the most influential factors considered by them when selecting ocean container carriers by analysing data collected from a survey of 105 freight forwarding organisations in Ghana. Exploratory factor analysi s i s used to identify the underlying factors which influence the selection of carrier. The findings of the study indicate that service quality, document accuracy, freight rates, environmental issue s, schedule reliability and quick handling are the most influential factors that guide freight forwarders when purcha sing liner shipping service. This study provide s a better understanding of the se influential factors from the perspective of the freight forwarders them selves. The findings are important to ocean container carriers since they can enable liner shipping companies to channel resource s appropriately in response to factors which are identified as determining freight forwarder carrier selection.

“…Examples of distribution agents are freight forwarders, inland transport providers or logistics providers. Shipping firms are also moving into this part of the market (Fremont, 2009). Companies requiring transport services may be users in different ways.…”

“…Similarly, classification societies certify that all vessels comply with safety standards (Mensah, 2007). (Dicken, 2011, DMA, 2006, Fremont, 2009 As shown by Figure 1, the maritime industry is characterised by a highly complex market structure, which has traditionally used a variety of contractual relationships between shipbuilders, shipowners and charterers who buy the transport use value of a ship, and hence can be placed in the use-oriented PSS category. An example of such a PSS is the use of bareboat charters, where a shipbuilder builds a ship and then leases it to a charterer, who then operates the ship.…”

Eco-innovation research pays increasing attention to business models and their contribution to the diffusion of environmental technology into socio-technological systems. The extent to which a business model hampers or promotes certain types of eco-innovations remains an open question. In order to shed light on this issue, the authors develop a conceptual framework to show how a specific type of business model (ProductService Systems) could be applied to the context of the maritime industry. With a focus on the Danish maritime industry, the case study addresses two questions: Which business models are being used to develop, install and service the ballast water treatment technology? And, How can these business models add value to the ballast water treatment systems in the market? The case shows that different business models are applied depending on whether the installation is on new or retrofitted vessels. Both installation and operation stages of ballast water treatment systems provide opportunities for collaboration among stakeholders. Based on the Eco-costs/Value Ratio model, the authors perform an analysis of on-board and port-based ballast water treatment systems with the aim to propose a possible product-service system. These results suggest that portbased systems have the highest potential for eco-efficient value creation and a possible product-service system can be designed for this kind of technology. The article highlights the point that authorities need to improve regulations to stimulate port-based ballast water treatment systems rather than on-board ballast management systems.
