Definition
• Maritime Logistics Management is the part of
the supply chain process that plans,
implements, and controls the efficient,
effective flow and storage of goods, services,effective flow and storage of goods, services,
and related information from the point of
origin to the point of consumption in order to
meet customers’ requirements in the
Maritime and business environments

History
• Egyptians used it in 3200 BC
• Maritime transport was dependent on wind
• Mechanized ships started in mid 19th century(steam • Mechanized ships started in mid 19 century(steam
engine)
• Diesel engine introduced in 20th century
• Today 90-95% of of international trade is carried
onboard ships of some sort
4
Characteristics
• Cheap Conveyance
• High carrying capacity
• Longer transport time• Longer transport time
• Affected by weather factors
• Delays on port where loading and unloading is
done

Sector Specific Targets
• Job creation
• Social development
• Increasing maritime
awareness
• Labor standards
7
Main Concerns of Maritime Industry
• Maritime business is to be conducted according to
the changing pattern in international trade and
global logistics and supply chain
• The rule of games is changed –larger and fewer • The rule of games is changed –larger and fewer
players hold the ever-stronger market power
• New strategies are to continuously develop and
implement to be competitive and sustainable
• Successful integration into the global supply chain is
the key to their business

Effect of Global Slowdown
2008:
• Global Economic
Downturn continues
• Sharp decline in world • Sharp decline in world
merchandise trade
• Growth in international
seaborne trade slowed
down to 3.6 % (2008) from
4.5 % (2007) 9

Maritime Transportation Planning Problem
• Low visibility
• Less structured
• Much More Uncertainty
• Traditional & Fragmented
17
Strategic Problems
Among the strategic problems:
• Market and trade selection,
• Ship design,
• Network and transportation system design (including • Network and transportation system design (including
the determination of transhipment points for
intermodal services),
• Fleet size and mix decisions (type, size, and number
of vessels), and
• Port/terminal location, size, and design
18
Tactical Problems
The tactical problems include:• Adjustments to fleet size and mix,
• Fleet deployment (assignment of specific vessels to trade routes),
• Ship routing and scheduling,• Ship routing and scheduling,
• Inventory ship routing,
• Berth scheduling,
• Crane scheduling,
• Container yard management,
• Container stowage planning,
• Ship management, and
• Distribution of empty containers
19
Operational Problems
The operational problems involve:
• Cruising speed selection,
• Ship loading, and• Ship loading, and
• Environmental routing
20
Maritime supply chain applications
A tactical transshipment problem, where coal is transported at sea from several
supply sources to a port with inventory constraints. The coal is then transported
from the port to several coal fired power plants.
• Objective is to minimize:– Procurement costs,
– Transportation costs, and – Transportation costs, and
– Holding costs.
• Constraints:– Company procurement policy,
– Power plant demand,
– Port unloading capacity,
– Blending requirements, and
– Safety stocks.

General Cargo Vessels
"cargo" refers to the goods carried aboard the
ship for hire
A cargo ship or freighter is any sort of ship or vesselA cargo ship or freighter is any sort of ship or vessel
that carries cargo, goods, and materials from one port
to another.
23
Container ships
Cargo ships that carry all of their load in truck-size intermodal
containers, in a technique called containerization
Common means of commercial intermodal freight transport
24
Dry Bulk Carriers
The term “Dry bulk carrier" is used to distinguish bulkers from
bulk liquid carriers such as oil, chemical, or liquefied petroleum
gas carriers
Specially designed to transport unpackaged bulk cargo, such as
grains, coal, ore, and cement in its cargo holds
�Bulkers make up 40% of the
world's merchant fleets
�Range from single-hold mini-
bulkers to mammoth ore ships
able to carry 365,000 metric tons
of deadweight (DWT)

Liquid Bulk Carriers
"wet" trades of
• Petroleum
• Liquefied natural gas (LNG)
• Gasoline
• Chemicals
• Liquid edibles (vegetable oil, cooking oil, fruit juices, etc.)• Liquid edibles (vegetable oil, cooking oil, fruit juices, etc.)
27
Gas Tankers
An LNG carrier is a tank ship designed for transporting
liquefied natural gas (LNG)
28
Liners
Ocean liner is a ship designed to transport people from one
seaport to another along regular long-distance maritime
routes according to a schedule.
Liners may also carry cargo or mail, and may sometimes be
used for other purposes (e.g., for pleasure cruises or as
troopships).troopships).
29
Tramps
•A ship engaged in the tramp trade is one which does not
have a fixed schedule or published ports of call.
•As opposed to freight liners, tramp ships trade on the spot
market with no fixed schedule or itinerary/ports-of-call(s).
30
Cruising Ship
•A cruise ship or cruise liner is a passenger ship used for
pleasure voyages
•Major part of the tourism industry, accounting for U.S.$27
billion annually

How to solve?
Sol: Formulate as LPP
(OR Application)
� A facility for receiving ships and/or transferring cargo
� At the edge of an ocean, sea, river or lake
� Cargo-handling equipments, processing facilities,
Port
� Cargo-handling equipments, processing facilities,
custom facilities
� Port types – cruise, cargo ,
fishing, etc.
35
�Global trade structure or the transport industry
�Industrial relocation and boom in world production -
increased the tonnage supply and maximising cargo unitisation
�From labour intensive to capital intensive businesses
Port and Economic Development
�Integrated and continuous transport chain – from producer
to consumer
�Production required raw material from one country,
warehousing in another and exports to a third one

� A system of intermodal freight transport using standard
intermodal containers
� Loaded onto container ships, railroad cars, planes, and trucks
� Approximately 90% of non-bulk cargo worldwide
Containerization
� Five common standard lengths – 20 ft, 40 ft, 45 ft, 48 ft and
53 ft
�Issues
�Increased Efficiency
�Additional Fuel Cost
�Misuse – Smuggle
�Empty containers53
�Cannot be built overnight and may take a lifetime to repay
�Poor connectivity to international transport networks
�Tended to absorb excess capacity in low-skilled labour
Issues in Port Logistics
�Managing ports superstructure becoming more
sophisticated and demanding
�Governments facing resistance for developing ports.
�Upgrading infrastructure according to modern technology

elsewhere
•Limited accessibility,
other transport required
to/from port
•Slow travel (trains faster
but higher cost)
•Huge, heavy loads
hauled for distances
•Low-value, high-density
cargo such as coal or

•Waterways maintained
by taxpayers
•Low fixed costs for ease

International Maritime
Organization(IMO)
� Formerly known as the Inter-Governmental Maritime Consultative Organization (IMCO), was established in Geneva in 1948
� Came into force ten years later, meeting for the first time in 1959
� The IMCO name was changed to IMO in 1982
� Presently Headquartered in London, it’s a specialized agency of the United Nation with 168 Member States and three Associate Members
