A4: How can ports meet the needs of modern logistics and their role as an enabler of supply chain best practice?
|
|
Companies must address the pressing issue of their supply chain strategy and ask themselves: ‘what actions can we pursue to achieve maximum profitability and ensure company success?’ The fact is, in today’s business world, companies are not the ones competing—supply chains are. And they must be fostered with the utmost care and attention in order to have a chance at superseding competitors.Is getting closer to the shipper and 3PL the key to anchoring volumes through specific ports and corridors? Certainly, many new terminals are now being developed integrally with port logistics parks and supporting hinterland services. Will landside service efficiency emerge as the most decisive success factor for the future - or does the waterside still rule?
Key issues
- Keeping up with emerging market demand – risk and reward
- Volume growth, vessel growth and service concentration – commercial and operational challenges
- Landside logistics and intermodal operations – connecting the supply chain
