VALUE-ADDED SERVICES FROM A PORT CENTRIC LOGISTICS PERSPECTIVE: A LITERATURE REVIEW

Abstract

The traditional roles of a port such as cargo (un)loading, and storage, are not sufficient in the severe competitive environment anymore. As customer requirements are constantly changing, the raison d'être of a port needs to be re-evaluated and a port should be re-positioned as offering value-added logistics services to become a vital industrial hub. For instance, ports, service-providing actors in the supply chain, can expand the cargo types served and increase their revenues through value-added logistics services offered by port, or within its close vicinity. Ports’ customers, particularly shippers, can benefit from obtaining additional value-added logistics services from a port and achieving cost advantage by eliminating certain supply chain activities. Such positive contributions are key to achieving a competitive advantage for both customers and ports. Although there are a considerable number of research that concentrate on improving port competitiveness, few numbers of research address the value-added services provided by ports for increasing their competitiveness or harmonization to a port-centric logistics viewpoint. For this reason, this research concentrates on establishing a value-added logistics services bundle that discloses whether a port embraces an approach for port-centric logistics. In order to reach that aim, we conduct a systematic literature review, which initially provides some statistics about the journals in which the accessed articles are published, the nations of the first authors' institutions, and the findings of the books, discussion papers, and reports reached. Additionally, the results of the research show that light manufacturing and assembly, packaging and information and communication technologies are the most common value-added logistics services.
