US container terminal leasing and pricing

Income from leasing container terminals and terminal facilities over the last 15 years has risen from miniscule levels to a point where it now represents a majority of the total income at some us ports [l]. This paper reviews the methods used to lease container terminals and terminal facilities, examines the leasing methodologies and pricing approaches used by us public port authorities, and di…

Enhanced logistics service provider framework for higher integration and effi…

The concept of maritime logistics results from the convergence of maritime transport and supply chains. The paper aims to propose an enhanced logistics service provider (LSP) framework which facilitates LSPs to integrate supply chains in an optimal manner by utilising their unique expertise and experience. In the framework, the enhanced LSP serves as the single contact point for shippers and as…

Asymmetric pricing of diesel at its source

Competitive diesel pricing can yield tangible benefits to truck drivers, fleet operators and farmers. The ability, and willingness, of wholesale distributors to asymmetrically pass on changes in diesel costs to consumers can adversely distort the market. Existing studies for Australia have focused on petrol (gasoil) prices, while there has been no testing for asymmetry in diesel prices.We test …

Pricing strategies for port competition and cooperation

This paper analyzes the effects of integration between two neighbor ports with a third port sharing the same overlapping hinterland. The merger (integrated port) can select either the price discrimination or uniform pricing strategy after integration. Our study reveals that port integration is always beneficial to the merger and the third port, but results in the reduction of consumer surplus…

Efficient (re-)scheduling - an auction approach

We consider one-sided scheduling problems like the un/loading at sea-ports. These are typically handled on a first-come-first-serve basis, which is grossly inefficient. We propose a scheduling auction in the spirit of the Clark–Groves–Vickrey mechanism, and shows that it is free of the deficiencies that tend to plague it in other applications.

Pricing policy and operational controls in container terminals

Following a general discussion on port pricing policies and structures the author explores the argument that price in itself provides an inadequate focus of needs and preferences of port users, especially users of container terminals, and suggests a system of input pricing related to the sale of terminal capability on a time basis.

Analysis of factory gate pricing in the UK grocery supply chain

The paper aims to analyse the reasons behind the leadership shown by a case study retailer through the introduction of factory gate pricing (FGP) within the grocery sector. Further, there is an evaluation of the transport management techniques used to support FGP and the operational benefits gained.

Supply chain networks design and transfer-pricing

The purpose of this paper is to provide a new modelling framework for distribution network strategy and to study how various transfer-pricing schemes cope with stochastic demand under different countries tax policies.

A critical review of port pricing literature : what role for academic research?

Few topics in the area of port economics have attracted so much attention from the side of the academic community as port pricing. The impact of such literature has been quite tangible in terms of policy development and the adoption of cost-based charging practices by many ports. Nonetheless as the port sector changes, new areas of research emerge and the academic community needs to look beyond…

The new European port policy proposals: Too much ado about nothing?

It is widely felt that in order to strengthen the competitiveness of European ports it is needed to ensure fair competition among ports and the sector is anew facing new and old challenges related to its long-term development.These challenges, and arguably the inability of the port sector and the European Union (EU) Member States to meaningfully react to them on their own, are at the basis …

Port pricing- principles, structure and models

Price level and price transparency are input to shippers’ choice of supply chain and transport mode. In this paper, we analyse current port pricing structures in the light of the pricing literature and consider opportunities for improvement. We present a detailed overview of pricing criteria, who sets prices and who ultimately foots the bill for port-of-call charges, cargo-handling fees and c…

Determinants of port infrastructure pricing

Despite many theories on port pricing have been discussed in literature empirical research on this topic remains very limited. This paper seeks to empirically analyse port infrastructure charges using the simultaneous equation regression method and data of 159 seaports. The analysis result indicates that seaport infrastructure pricing is primarily cost-based but other factors are also relevant.…

Paying for transport through new technology

Briefly reviews the modern history of transportation and reasons for road pricing via toll roads (reducing congestion and generating revenue). Examines new technology to avoid delays, namely automatic debiting by “smartcard”, and similar technology for public transport. Debates various advantages and disadvantages of such innovation, holding the main advantage to be access to information on…

Joint inventory and constant price decisions for a continuous review system

The purpose of this paper is to study joint inventory and pricing strategy for a continuous inventory review system. While dynamic pricing decisions are often studied in the literature along with inventory management, the authors’ aim in this study is to obtain a single long-run optimal price; also to gain insight about how to obtain the optimal price and inventory control variables simultane…
