从传统的海洋运输走向综合物流服务

为了迎合市场的变革和提升物流效率,传统的海洋运输正不断向综合物流服务转型。本文将探讨航运企业从传统的海洋运输走向综合物流服务所带来的机遇,分析航运企业所具备的优势,并进一步阐述发展综合物流服务的相关策略,以期增强企业在全球市场中的竞争力,促进物流行业的可持续发展。     

国有航运企业发展综合物流的战略分析

从海洋运输走向综合物流,是国际航运企业发展的大方向,也是中国航运企业迎接现实挑战,实现持续发展的必由之路.随着中国加入WTO,中国航运企业从单一海洋运输向现代综合物流服务的转变显得更加紧迫.     

顺应航运潮流，拓展现代物流

现代物流业是利用信息和网络技术，运用现代组织和管理方式，对运输、仓储、装卸、分类、包装、加工、配送等物流环节进行一体化经营，组织产品从生产地到消费地之间的整个供应链的新兴产业。产品在供应链的流动过程中，物流业承担着为客户提供优质服务，并使其降低成本的职能。它的基本内涵是物质空间位移，航运企业在最初意义上就承担了物流的任务。因此，航运企业自身所拥有的船舶和代理网络将成为其开展物流服务的重要支持力量。从这个概念上不难看出，对于中海集团这样一个航运企业来说，开展现代物流就是要依托航运进行服务延伸，同时又要超越传统的运输观念进行服务创新，这也是大多数航运企业在开展物流过程中所持有的经营理念。     

对我国航运企业发展物流的探讨

1我国航运企业实施物流战略的条件分析 从海洋运输走向综合物流,是国际航运企业发展的大方向,也是航运企业迎接现实挑战、实现可持续发展的必由之路.我国加入WTO后,航运企业从单一海洋运输向现代综合物流服务的转变显得更加紧迫.经过近20年的发展,我国航运物流取得了一些进展.随着我国改革开放的不断深人,社会的物流意识已经形成,开展航运物流的条件也逐步成熟.概括地讲,主要表现在以下几方面:     

从海洋运输走向综合物流服务的必然性

航运企业由于受海洋运输单一性及由于市场恶性竞争导致运价大跌、利润大幅下降的影响,在奋力挣扎中难现昔日独霸天下、纵横四海的风采。 综合物流服务与海洋运输相结合的伟大战略一经产生,便得到了广泛的承认和应用,并在西方社会的物流发展史中得到了有力的证实。航运企业唯有向综合物流服务方向发展,才能彻底摆脱由于受海洋运输单一性影响而导致的底气不足。在未来的航运年代,力求最大限度地降低国际物流成本,挖掘“第三利润”的源泉,将会对世界经济的发展起到巨大的促进作用。 国际航运企业向综合物流服务方向发展是不可逆转的趋势…

解决集装箱超重问题须供应链各环节集体行动

航运是广义“物流”概念中的一个组成部分，是供应链上的一个环节。因此，航运企业必须和货主、港口等相关方一起行动。如果其中任何一个部分不同向进行，就会产生一系列的问题，最终对整个供应链的运行产生不利影响。

新世纪我国航运企业物流运作模式的探讨

随着中国加入WTO日程的迫近,从海洋运输走向综合物流服务已是我国航运企业发展的必然趋势。通过对国外先进物流企业经验的借鉴,结合我国国情,提出新世纪我国航运企业物流运作模式——第三方物流模式。     

航运企业能为货主提供什么样的服务

众所周知,航运企业是以提供运输服务货物位移作为产品并由此获利的行业,按照以往的惯例,航运企业所承揽并负责的仅为货物海(水)上运输的全过程,并未深入涉及其他方而。随着中远货运体系及集装箱全球一体化的不断深入,航运企业的触角已经大大的延伸,可以并有能力承诺货主门到门的运输,以下主要针对大宗散货尤其是件杂货运输谈一些个人的看法。     

Achieving an ASEAN single shipping market: shipping and logistics firms’ perspective

ABSTRACT

To establish an Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) Single Shipping Market (ASSM) is an important part of ASEAN governments’ overall plan to achieve an ASEAN Economic Community by 2015. It is expected that a single shipping market will improve the region’s logistics performance and international competitiveness. To achieve this vision, however, the ASEAN countries need to remove any remaining barriers to logistics performance. In this light, the objective of this paper is to identify these barriers and assess their effects on the logistics performance of shipping and logistics firms based in ASEAN countries. Using a questionnaire-based survey, the study revealed several barriers affecting their logistics performance with varying significance among these countries. Unless these barriers from the perspective of the industry are removed, the ability of the shipping and logistics industry to benefit from a liberalized market would be limited. These perceived barriers are examined in detail and strategies to address them are proposed. The ASEAN experience is applicable to similar countries in the process of integrating their international shipping sector as well as contributes to the understanding of the different barriers and how these barriers can affect the logistics performance of shipping and logistics companies.     

Risk perception affecting the performance of shipping companies: the moderating effect of China and Korea

Risks in the shipping industry have been highlighted and have attracted significant attention, especially following the bankruptcy of Hanjin in 2017. Due to the decrease in container volume, the business environment for large shipping companies in China has deteriorated. Therefore, major large shipping companies have implemented mixed ownership reform, which provides more opportunities for large Korean shipping companies to enter the Chinese shipping industry. This study first identifies risk perception, specifically focusing on the moderating effect of Chinese and Korean shipping companies, and then demonstrates the impact of these risks on shipping company performance. The results show that market, operational, and technical risks have a negative influence on Chinese shipping companies, whereas market, policy, financial, operations, and technical risks have a negative influence on Korean shipping companies. This study contributes to the fundamental understanding of the effect of risk perception on performance among shipping companies in both countries and calls for further research on risk management plans based on the risk factors identified herein. On a practical level, this study provides an important reference for operators and investors who seek to enter strategic alliances or joint venture in Chinese shipping industry.

Barriers to energy efficiency in shipping

The shipping industry shows potential for improvements in energy efficiency. Nonetheless, shipping companies appear reluctant to adopt these seemingly cost-efficient technical and operational measures aiming at reducing energy costs. Such phenomenon is not specific to the shipping industry and is commonly referred to as the energy efficiency gap. Decades of research in other sectors have contributed to the development of taxonomy of economic, organizational and psychological barriers that determine energy efficiency gaps through the use of a variety of research frameworks. This article aims to apply this research in the shipping context through interviews and review of existing literature and applications from other industries, with the objective of providing useful insight for shipping managers. The article discusses examples of barriers that are typical to shipping and that are related to information asymmetries and power structures within organizations. Managers of shipping firms are encouraged to look through their organizations in search of principal agent problems and power structures among the possible causes for energy efficiency gaps in their companies’ operations and possibly strive towards organizational change.     

Crucial factors influencing international logistics operations for African landlocked countries – A case study of Burkina Faso

ABSTRACT

This study aims to evaluate the crucial factors influencing international logistics operations for African landlocked countries. To this end, a case study and a questionnaire survey were conducted. A total of 147 usable responses from container shipping firms were obtained as a result of the questionnaire survey. The results of factor analysis revealed that transportation capability, external risks, information integration, logistics infrastructure, local agents’ logistics capability, and national law and policy were crucial factors influencing the logistics operations of African landlocked countries. Specifically, local agents’ logistics capability was perceived by respondents to be the most important factor. Moreover, the results of the study also indicated that the highest factor mean values of small shipping companies were related to transportation capability, external risks and the local agents’ logistics capability, whereas container shipping companies that arranged trucks for inland transportation paid more attention to the external risks, logistics infrastructure, the local agents’ logistics capability, and national law and policy.     

The Nigerian shipping industry and indigenous shipping companies

The shipping industry in Nigeria since the early 1990s has been experiencing a continuous disastrous downturn. Nigerian shipping companies' participation in international shipping has continued to be very limited. Their presence and impact is hardly felt in the world's shipping industry. Both the national carriers (that is shipping companies with national carrier status) and other indigenous private shipping companies have vessel as well as management problems. These problems have led to the poor performance of the Nigerian shipping industry for over a decade now. The carriers in the industry are not attaining for the country the gains that are supposed to emanate from shipping. This paper points out the importance of shipping to a nation, identifies the problems the country's shipping companies are facing and proffers solutions that include merging of the companies to have strong financial standing and a competitive edge.

Environmental awareness and practice concerning maritime air emissions: the case of the Greek shipping industry

One of the most urgent environmental problems facing the shipping industry today is the reduction of Greenhouse Gas (GHG) emissions from its operations and the possible cost-effective ways in which this reduction could be accomplished. Various technical and operational measures have been proposed as well as market-based instruments for the achievement of the compliance of marine industry with these measures. This paper investigates the levels of environmental awareness of the Greek shipping companies and their views and practices on the proposed policies for the reduction of GHG emissions from their ships. A survey was carried out using a questionnaire distributed to Greek shipping companies of different sizes, involved in different segments of the marine industry, so that the survey's results not only represent a large part of the Greek shipping industry but also reveal the different environmental attitudes and practices on maritime GHG emissions among the shipping companies. Given the size and the importance of the Greek shipping industry in the international maritime field, this paper's results present a special significance as they could be further analyzed and taken into account for the achievement of the compliance of marine industry with any future policy instrument for the reduction of maritime GHG emissions.
