“…These include structural damage to port infrastrucure such as the breakwater wall (building damage), blocking of access routes due to landslides (transportation facilities), shortage of water and electricity (lifeline facilities), loss of one of three available tugboats (transportation facilities), psychological impact due to large amounts of aftershocks (life difficulties), human suffering due to death or injured people (human suffering), damage to fishing boats and facilities (other facilities). Similarly,Kubo et al (2005) review of impacts of tsunamis on moored ships and ports in Japan and Korea listing potential sources of accident and damage hazards. The latter include landing of the drifting material produced by the tsunami, fire or pollution caused by fuel in vehicles and vessels crashed, ship collisions during habour escape attempts, sand drift, waterway burying, and stranding and ceasing of logistics functions.…”

Understanding how container routing stands to be impacted by different scenarios of liner shipping network perturbations such as natural disasters or new major infrastructure developments is of key importance for decision-making in the liner shipping industry. The variety of actors and processes within modern supply chains and the complexity of their relationships have previously led to the development of simulation-based models, whose application has been largely compromised by their dependency on extensive and often confidential sets of data. This study proposes the application of optimisation techniques less dependent on complex data sets in order to develop a quantitative framework to assess the impacts of disruptive events on liner shipping networks. We provide a categorization of liner network perturbations, differentiating between systemic and external and formulate a container assignment model that minimises routing costs extending previous implementations to allow feasible solutions when routing capacity is reduced below transport demand. We develop a base case network for the Southeast Asia to Europe liner shipping trade and review of accidents related to port disruptions for two scenarios of seismic and political conflict hazards. Numerical results identify alternative routing paths and costs in the aftermath of port disruptions scenarios and suggest higher vulnerability of intra-regional connectivity.
