Portfolio of port-centric supply chain disruption threats
Purpose –This study provides a risk assessment of port-centric threats that may have adverse effects on supply chain continuity from the perspectives of port operators and
port users, thereby determining the significance of these threats to supply chain disruptions.
Design/methodology/approach – Drawing on literature review and reported cases, 19 port-centric disruptive events were identified. Subsequently, surveys were conducted to
collect data from 102 port operators and 123 port users worldwide on the frequencies and consequences of the identified port-centric disruptive events. Risk matrices were then generated to compare the perspectives of port operators and port users.
