Port co-opetition in concept and practice (2003, background): “On the other hand, the globalization of container liners has resulted in the greater market power of the alliances and consortia [8] as international shipping lines have more choices in calling at ports.”
Ports as elements in value-driven chain systems: the new paradigm (2002, background): “Heaver, Meersman, Moglia and van de Voorde [3], for example, point to the emergence of alliances in these chains and are prompted to ask what role port authorities will play in the future and whether or not port authorities will become `. . . fully ¯edged partners in the logistics chain, (or) . . . ”
The efficiency of European container ports: A cross-sectional data envelopment analysis (2006, result): “In line with the argument that comparable data can only be obtained at the level of the container terminal, rather than the port (Goss 1990, Heaver 1995, Alderton 1999, Heaver et al. 2000, 2001), this paper focuses on measuring the efficiency of container terminals in Europe using the DEA approach.”
Activities, resources and inter-organizational relationships: key factors in port competitiveness (2008, background): “Typically, the relationships between shipping companies and terminal operators can be consortia and conferences, joint ventures, strategic alliances, mergers and acquisitions, aimed at optimizing management of intermodal and maritime transport services [47].”
Port privatization, efficiency and competitiveness: Some empirical evidence from container ports (terminals) (2005, methodology): “Principal component analysis was originated by Pearson (1901) and later developed by Hotelling (1933). The application of principal components is discussed by Rao (1964), Cooley and Lohnes (1971), and Gnanadesikan (1977).”
Container Shipping And Ports: An Overview (2004, background): “Notteboom and Winkelmans (2001b) and Heaver et al (2000) primarily discussed the changing role of port authorities in the new logistic-restructured environment, while Martin and Thomas (2001) addressed structural changes in the container terminal community.”
Co-operation and competition in international container transport: strategies for ports (2001, background): “opments bring with them a danger of preferential treatment, con ̄ ict of interests and market dominance ([1] p.”
Regional container port competition and co-operation: the case of Hong Kong and South China (2002, background): “The rationalisation of container line services has resulted in the greater market power of the alliances and consortia (Heaver et al., 2000).”
A review of port authority functions: towards a renaissance? (2010, background): “Market actors see the port authority at best as an assistant in achieving their own objectives, which are essentially profit oriented [44], but often also as a bureaucratic nuisance.”
Developments in Container Port Competition in East Asia (2006, background): “Heaver et al. (2000) present a schematic showing the diversity of the container shipping industry reflected in the different industry players with their various objectives, tools and possible impacts.”
Port regionalization: towards a new phase in port development (2005, background): “[17] primarily discuss logistics integration and the changing role of port authorities in the new logisticrestructured environment, while Martin and Thomas [18] address structural changes in the container terminal community.”
