“…Hall and Robbins (2007) and Mangan and Lalwani (2008) also stated that ports have become increasingly responsive to major customers' supply chains. It has been illustrated by some studies that concepts of supply chain when incorporated into port planning and management can enhance port performance (Carbone and Martino, 2003;Almotairi and Lumsden, 2009;Lam and Yap, 2011).…”

“…To critically assess the state of the literature on this topic in focus, those papers just mentioning ports' connection with the supply chain without fulfilling the objective to understand ports' role/ relationship/ integration with the supply chain are not included in table 1. Focusing on the role of ports in the automotive supply chain, Carbone and Martino (2003) conducted surveys with various operators in the port of Le Havre to analyse how they are involved in the supply chain. The study found that generally port competitiveness is increasingly dependent on external coordination and control of the whole supply chain.…”

than ever. From a microeconomic perspective, on the other hand, due to competitive pressures brought by consolidation in the manufacturing sector, firms tend to produce in places where resources are less expensive. Finding sources in lowering production cost has led to a situation where companies spread their production units across continents. These developments in the world economy have been accelerated owing to factors like the importance of economies of scale, geographical expansion and trade liberalisation, which in turn lead to increasingly globalised enterprise activities. Consequently, the manufacturing industry in global supply chains becomes more dependent upon shipping and ports in inbound as well as outbound logistics.Having acted as trade facilitators, seaports *) are important players in the freight transport system. The era of globalisation and global supply chain management (SCM) has led to the evolving roles of ports and port operators which are shaping

“…Port logistics plays an important role in the management and coordination of materials and information flow, as the transport is an integral part of the entire value chain (Carbone, 2003). It becomes the significant node connecting between the sender of goods and the receiver of goods throughout whole value chain.…”

Emerging as a dynamic economy in the South East Asia, Vietnam, the 151st WTO member has to improve export goods value chain to create sustainable competitive advantage. Nowadays, Vietnam port-logistics sector has been becoming one of the most important service industries that contribute intensively to create value for Vietnam export goods in global market. This paper discusses one of the contemporary challenging issues for Vietnam-how to improve value chain through efficient port logistics. The objective of this research is to review literature issue of value chain, analyse the situation of Vietnam logistics sector, especially in port logistics and provide some recommendations to improve value chain of Vietnam export goods. The surveyed issues of both sides of logistics service providers (LSPs) and beneficial cargo owners (BCOs) will be taken into consideration. Based on the findings result, some actions are suggested to the government and local logistics service providers to make necessary decisions and solutions to improve value chain of Vietnam export goods through efficient port logistics.

“…Much has been written about the transformation of ports from basic transport terminals to supply chain hubs in an effort to extend their range of value-adding services (e.g. Carbone and de Martino 2003). In pursuit of added value shipping lines have also diversified into land-based logistics.…”

“…Robinson (2002) argues that this new paradigm ports and terminals being components of global supply chains, although enticing, is still relatively uncommon (Song andPanayides 2008, Tongzon, Chang andLee 2009). Although ports clearly have a role to play in global supply chains, they are often unable to influence or affect chain competitiveness beyond their own boundaries (Carbone and de Martino 2003).…”
