Ocean Transport Logistics:
Making Global Supply Chain Management Effective
Chung-Yee Lee
As supply chains become more global, and more operations are outsourcing and move
offshore, ocean container transport now is a critical element of any such supply chain.
In particular, due to the tightened security, over capacity, slow steaming, potential
disruption and heightened pressure on carbon emission, the immediate effect of ocean
transportation on supply chain has recently attracted much attention. In this talk, I will
present a number of problems that appear to be challenging for both container shipping
service providers and users. In the past five years, we have conducted a Theme-Based
Research Project in ocean transport logistics sponsored by Hong Kong Research Grant
Council that involves fourteen professors from four local universities in Hong Kong
plus two oversea universities (in Korea and Netherlands). In this talk, future research
opportunities will be discussed. The main purpose is to raise awareness and encourage
more research into and application of operations management techniques and tools in
container transport chains.
