Logisitcs and Supply Chain Integration Model of Port in Transportation Networks

Based on the assumption that the higher the integration between the actors the higher the competiveness of the whole supply chain, we adopted an supply chain management approach in the analysis of the port in transportation networks. By reviewing of the literature and data concerning the ports and maritime transportation sector, this paper puts forward the model of logistics and supply chain integration, which provides the framework for port managers and decision makers to face with the higher integration challenge.
