Small and medium enterprises (SMEs) play an important role in modern economies because of their flexibility and ability to innovate. In nearly every country, SMEs play a significant role in providing employment opportunities and supporting large scale manufacturing firms. However, there are not many studies reported in the literature that deal with productivity problems in SMEs. Considering the…
The period 1990 to 1993 saw a profound transformation within Swedish industry. This transformation took place in response to the deepest recession experienced in decades. Companies responded by searching for different methods to increase their competitive power. One approach in these efforts was to increase efficiency through the use of different comprehensive quality concepts. Different advoca…
Winter navigation is a complex but common operation in the Northern Baltic Sea areas. In Finnish waters, the safety of the wintertime maritime transportation system is managed through the Finnish–Swedish winter navigation system. This system results in different operational modes of ship navigation, with vessels either navigating independently or under icebreaker assistance. A recent risk ana…
Ports are facing increasing environmental concerns with their importance to the global economy. Numerousstudies indicated sediment quality deterioration in ports; however, the deterioration is not discriminated for each port activity. This study investigated a spectrumof contaminants (metals and organic pollutants) in surface sediments at 20 sampling points in Port Ningbo, China, one of the top…
As bays, lagoons and estuaries ensure protection from wind, and a hinterland rich in natural resources is most enticing, during the early Iron Age the seafaring Phoenician settlers chose such locations all over the Mediterranean for their seaports, establishing pan-Mediterranean trade from the late 9th century BCE onwards. Despite the difficult nautical conditions, Phoenician sailors had conque…
In the framework of an ecological risk assessment of seaport sediments for terrestrial ecosystems when deposited in quarries, we simulated the ‘‘ageing’’ of sediments exposed to rain. This experiment highlighted an inflection point at the solid/liquid ratio 1/25, after which the extraction of pollutants increases moderately. The raw sediments studied inhibited the germination of Lolium …
central coast of the São Paulo State, Brazil. Sediment qualitywas evaluated through physicochemical analysis and toxicity tests of sediments collected in the disposal site and adjacent area. The physicochemical characterization of the sediments involved grain size distribution, concentrations of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), chlorinated and aromatic hydrocarbons, polychlorinated bip…

This work aims to combine the perspectives of logistics-service providers (LSPs) and small and medium-sized enterprises (SME) in the development of value-added logistics services. The purpose was to create a theory-based and initially tested framework that could help both service providers and SMEs identify new opportunities for developing their logistics.
This paper presents an application of centralized data envelopment analysis (CDEA) to analyse the performance of a number of container terminals supervised by one liner shipping company. It provides a systematic and centralized perspective of resource reallocation based on one company’s perspective. The numerical results show that two of the ve dedicated terminals are, by and large, efcient…
The dredged sediments of polluted seaports now raise complex management problems since it is no longer possible to discharge them into the sea. This results in the need to manage them on land, raising other types of technical, economic and environmental problems. Regarding the technical and economic dimensions, traditional waste treatment methods have proved to be poorly adapted, due to very…
We develop a new governance perspective on port–hinterland linkages and related port impacts. Many stakeholders in a port’s hinterland now demand tangible economic benefits from port activities, as a precondition for supporting port expansion and infrastructural investments. We use a governance lens to assess this farsighted contracting challenge. We find that most contemporary economic imp…
Korean small and medium sized (SMS) shipyards are facing difficulties getting new orders in the conditions of the marine recession, and many SMS shipyards have gone bankrupt. In general, SMS shipyards have fairly low credit ratings, so it is hard for them to get a Refund Guarantee (RG), which is a necessary document for contracts from commercial banks or the Export Credit Agency (ECA). I analyz…

The purpose of this paper is to analyze the impact of individual logistics-related factors, namely, supplier involvement (SI), length of supplier relationship (LSR), use of information technology (IT), and logistics integration (LI) on a firm’s supply chain performance (SCP) and test for the mediating effect of LI in a multi-country survey conducted in Brazil, Korea and India. The paper also …
Begins by reviewing the need to outsource logistics activities. Asserts that a new market-led business philosophy has become the core competence of companies that are serious about their survival. Addresses the question of whether there is a need for localised services and whether the development of suppliers into giants who can dominate the market is good for users, clients or consumers. Expre…
In the liner shipping industry, controlling switching costs (SCs) is an important strategy for maintaining customer loyalty (CL). This study proposes a research model comprising four constructs and six hypotheses to examine how SCs helps prevent customers from switching their freight loads from one carrier to the other. Moreover, a submodel is also proposed and tested by two sample sets, separa…
