Coping with Risk in Maritime Logistics - Managing vulnerability, risk and resilience in maritime logistics chains

Tildelt: kr 14,3 mill.

Ship-owners being able to offer logistics services that cover the complete maritime logistics chain, including planning, control, management, improvement and optimization, brings new areas of opportunities, e.g. better control of resources and interfaces, but also increased vulnerabilities and risks. As a port-to-port provider of transport services, shipping has been able to accommodate the inherent risks in the business through both contractual means and business mechanisms e.g. the pool organisations of the tramp segment, and even treatment of residual risks through the early development of ship and cargo insurance coverage. Key questions to be asked when defining the need for competence development in this area of shipping are: (i) Do we understand th e sources and mechanisms of the vulnerabilities and risks in maritime logistics chains in its widest sense? (ii) Do we have the ability to analyze vulnerability and risk scenarios and the likelihood and consequences of these scenarios in the maritime logi stics chain? (iii) Do we possess the appropriate measures, capacities and the ability to manage and mitigate vulnerabilities and risks in the extended maritime logistics contexts? Being able to answer ?yes? to this set of questions would mean that we are able to design, develop and operate maritime logistics chains that possess resilient capacities and capabilities. If the answer is ?no? there is a serious gap in the knowledge needed to be able to exploit the new opportunity space this development generat es without an equivalent increase in the vulnerability and risk space. The main competence question then becomes: How should we able to engineer resilience into the maritime logistics chain that meets the vulnerability and risk taxonomies of the context, and finally be able to analyse and manage the vulnerability and risk scenarios in a proactive manner?
