5.1.1 Capacity uncertainties
Uncertainties in port access can arise due to irregularities in pilotage or towage services and tide dependence that can create bottlenecks on the river or canal between the open sea and the port (Meersman et al. 2012; Notteboom 2006). Loading/unloading ships can also involve uncertainties with respect to estimated times of arrival of vessels, which prescribes the type and timing of capacity requirements, due to the low reliability of liner schedules. Examples of common reasons are inclement...
5.1.2 Flexibility strategies
Faced with capacity uncertainties, container carriers may adopt strategic-level flexibility approaches of securing terminal capacity at key ports in their service schedules through long-term contracts with terminal operators, alliances to share terminal capacity among partners, and/or minority shareholdings or joint ventures in container terminals (Harrison and Fichtinger 2013; Notteboom 2006; Wiegmans et al. 2008). In this respect, shippers can minimize the uncertainties caused by schedule v...
5.2.1 Capacity uncertainties
Uncertainties in yard capacity arise when there is a mismatch in container flows between quay and yard (e.g., due to low schedule integrity of vessels) or between yard and terminal gate (e.g., due to random arrivals of drayage truckers). Capacity uncertainties on the platform also arise from equipment maintenance and service failures, union labor strikes, chassis availability, carrier and dray service times, etc.
5.2.2 Flexibility strategies
Thus, platform capacity flexibilities depend on both yard operations (e.g., container stacking/retrieving processes, hauling equipment path flexibility and accessibility, and equipment availability) and yard integration with seaside and landside capacity. Terminal operators enhance hauling flexibility between yard and seaside through better coordination and real-time control of hauling equipment. The digitalization in the maritime logistics sector, such as automation, big data and tools for v...
5.3.1 Capacity uncertainties
Uncertainties usually arise when there is limited gate capacity, time-varying demand (e.g., low traffic during nights and weekends), and unavailability of chassis (e.g., due to dislocation or damage) that could lead to congestion not only at the gate but also on streets outside port terminals (Dekker et al. 2013; Guan and Liu 2009; Meersman et al. 2012).
5.3.2 Flexibility strategies
Strategically, one way of improving landside-interface capacity is by extending the terminal gate into the hinterland through the addition of inland terminals with flexible rail services (Hu et al. 2019), or dry ports that are directly connected to the seaport terminals with a high-capacity transport mode such as intermodal rail (Khaslavskaya and Roso, 2020). In such a system, customers can instead drop or pick up their containers at the inland terminals. Dry ports can also provide services s...
5.4.1 Capacity uncertainties
The number of empty containers available in a port is uncertain because ocean carriers do not know precisely when their customers will return the containers and how much time will be needed to move them to ports (Di Francesco et al. 2009). Uncertainties are further accentuated by the directional imbalance of container trades between export-oriented and import-oriented regions. This is notably acute in the Transpacific and Asia–Europe–Asia trade lanes. As a result, container availability is un...
5.4.2 Flexibility strategies
Ocean carriers add flexibility to container availability at various management levels, mainly through expanding container fleet size, repositioning of empty containers from surplus to deficit regions, and leasing containers (Theofanis and Boile 2009). Repositioning of empty containers could improve container utilization, thus equivalently increasing fleet capacity. Ocean carriers adopt advance planning approaches and engage in better coordination regarding the use of empty containers, which e...
