Abstract

A liner shipping network is a form of collaboration in the liner shipping industry where actors such as intermodal service providers, container management service providers, and container terminal operators share resources and assets to develop mutually beneficial strategies to seek operational performance gains. This chapter examines the liner shipping industry from the network perspective with a focus on developing an analytical framework for the development and operation of liner shipping networks. To achieve this objective, we use a case study to establish the framework for the reference of liner shipping companies and their business partners to operate and manage their networks competently. To understand the participation of liner shipping companies in liner shipping networks, we also explore the driving forces for the development and operation of the networks. The findings provide a useful framework for liner shipping companies and their business partners to evaluate their operations for cost and service improvements in managing liner shipping networks.
