Written by leading experts in the field, this book offers an
introduction to recent developments in port and hinterland
strategies, operations and related specializations. The book begins
with a broad overview of port definitions, concepts and the role of
ports in global supply chains, and an examination of strategic
topics such as port management, governance, performance,
hinterlands and the port-city relationship. The second part of the
book examines operational aspects of maritime, port and land
networks. A range of topics are explored, such as liner networks,
finance and business models, port-industrial clusters, container
terminals, intermodality/synchromodality, handling and warehousing.
The final section of the book provides insights into key issues of
port development and management, from security, sustainability,
innovation strategies, transition management and labour issues.
Drawing on a variety of global case studies, theoretical insights
are supplemented with real world and best practice examples, this
book will be of interest to advanced undergraduates, postgraduates,
scholars and professionals interested in maritime studies,
transport studies, economics and geography.

Port Inter-Organizational Information Systems aims at providing
insights into the ways global sea ports are challenged by the need
for managing complex information flows, given the developments in
global supply chains. We argue that special port IT capabilities
are needed to address these challenges by sharing information and
planning and executing container transport in a collaborative way,
establishing inter-organizational information architectures, and
coordinating interests to successfully implement the technological
infrastructures. We focus on the role of port community systems
that support port communities in meeting the demands of global
supply chains. Port Inter-Organizational Information Systems has a
multidisciplinary nature and should be of interest to students,
researchers, and practitioners in several fields, including
information management, information systems, operations management,
supply chain management, and technology management. The book
combines a number of chapters where concepts are explained, while
referring to a large repository of case studies provided in an
appendix. Also, an introduction to the container transport network
is provided in another appendix.
