“…From inovation's point of view, the greatest advances have been registered in the automation of operational processes in container terminals (depending on the consistency and volume of the flow), technological innovations in handling equipment and ships. Thus, the speed and adaptability from the point of view of the port can lead to a considerable decrease of the costs involved (Wang & Mileski, 2018).…”

Strategic management ensures the identification of environmental opportunities and threats that a sector or an organization must face in order to gain a competitive advantage in the market. Transport is recognized as a key factor in the strategy of a long term development, economic growth and quality of life. In this sense, a transport system that offers a maximum economic and social impact must be developed in order to minimize the negative effects. Considering this aspects, we must highlight that important economic changes, trade growth, technological development or environmental issues have a major impact on the maritime industry in general and on port activities in particular. The favourable maritime opening of Romania, which through the port of Constanta is one of the main distribution centers for Central and Eastern Europe, ensures the necessary premises for an economic growth. The purpose of this paper is to identify the main strategic management decisions needed in the field of maritime transport in order to ensure increased performance. We will also try to demonstrate the strategic importance that the management of the port has (through updated strategic decisions and objectives) in terms of its competitiveness in foreign trade. An analysis will be performed on the port of Constanta based on which we will identify the main decisions and strategic objectives to ensure its development and increase its competitiveness at European and global level.

“…However, few articles have examined maritime management in the shipping industry from the perspective of maritime proposals. Research on maritime management is extensive, and most of them conceptualize it as an event or a cause/consequence [10][11][12][13]. This line of research focuses on maritime accidents [14], Port State Control (PSC) inspections [4,15], and the marine environment [16].…”

“…Maritime management involves employing and maneuvering human, financial, technical, and natural resources associated with the sea, maritime navigation, shipping, port development, and coastal protection [10]. Strategic maritime management is defined as the field of strategic maritime management that deals with the major intended and emergent initiatives taken by general managers on behalf of both owners and stakeholders, involving utilization of resources, to enhance the performance of maritime organizations in the global maritime environment [13]. Maritime traffic management is a process of information exchange and cooperation.…”

This study investigates how international organizations, International Maritime Organization (IMO) member states, and associate members have embarked on maritime management (MM) measures to address dire situations in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic. It explores the evolution of MM practices from international organizations, IMO member states, and associate members to ensure the resilience and sustainability of the shipping industry. Corpus linguistics was employed as a computer-assisted method to assess a large number of naturally occurring texts. Circular letters from international organizations and member states listed on the IMO website from January 2020 to July 2021 were curated and built into three corpora. Through corpus linguistic analysis of circulars from three different crisis phases (Pre-/early-crisis, Crisis in progress, Post-COVID-19 crisis phase), we discovered an MM progression mechanism developed between stakeholders in conjunction with the post-crisis period. The study presented the “MM-as-process” vision to emphasize the time-varying dynamic nature of MM development during the disruption.

“…To deal with all of these newly introduced issues in the 21st century, corporate strategies that apply a generic hypothetical context of "performance strategy" to the profitability of maritime transport are becoming increasingly relevant [30]. This further demonstrates that the marine industry has evolved into a more "business-like" environment, necessitating the development of maritime-specific strategic theories and frameworks.…”

The absence of specific goals, functions, integrity and a clear chain of command in the maritime transport system organizational structure (OS) in the Arab world may lead to creating trade tensions, increasing export restrictions, increasing economic and social costs, and other obstacles that impede the achievement of the strategic goal of maritime transport. This research aims to propose an integrated organizational structure that shows the relations and dependencies of all elements in the maritime transport system and the ports authorities, which helps in creating a stronger internal organizational environment. The proposed OSs are meant to improve maritime activities such as shipbuilding and ship scrapping, and to increase coordination and integration between the maritime transport sector and the authority for maritime safety through identifying the role of each entity within the proposed OSs. It is an exploratory multiple case study research, where a qualitative research method is conducted using interviews. The research approach has taken the following steps: (1) 47 world maritime transport organizational structures (MTOSs) that are selected and criticized according to six criteria; (2) data and information of 47 MTOSs were collected using documentation from official websites of governments;(3) the characteristics and challenges facing current MTOSs are identified; (4) the proposed MTOSs are projected; (5) purposive expert sampling technique is used for the validation of the proposed MTOSs and POS through the conduction of semi structured and unstructured interviews; (6) the proposed model is readjusted and implemented in Egypt according to the experts' feedback; and (7) external and internal validity were also tested to ensure that generalizability of the research is shown within its scope.
