The emergence of strategic alliances has been recognized as a viable source of competitive advantage across most industries in the business world. It also holds true in the evolution of the shipping industry in Malaysia as the globalization of shipping and logistic services now prevails over traditional shipping business practices. / The purpose of this study was to examine the creation of value in strategic alliances. Drawing on the theories of resource dependence, transaction cost, and collabo...

We report on a project with Polaroid Corporation in which we developed a supply chain model to provide decision support for planning production and transportation. Production occurs in Asia to serve world-wide demand. Production planners must determine both the production quantities as well as whether to ship by sea or by air. We develop a model to optimize a static version of this problem and then show how to use this static model in a dynamic setting. We test the model with data from Polaroid ...

The current Department of Defense shipping procedures do not encourage Installation Transportation Officers (ITOs) to use small parcel carriers (SPCs) for domestic ground transportation. There is still a significant amount of small parcels being shipped by the more expensive common carriers used for large Truckload and Less-Than-Truckload freight. The first purpose of this thesis is to show small parcels can be shipped more efficiently by SPCs than common carriers. The second purpose is to predi...

The world shipping freight market for the transportation of bulk cargo - liquid and dry - is characterised by the somewhat erratic and extreme fluctuations exhibited by many of the measures that can be used to describe the "state" of the market. Such 'measures' include the spot freight rates - the cost to the shipper of chartering a unit of shipping capacity 'on the spot' (that is, not reserving the vessel in advance), - the proportion of chartered tonnage at any time taken on a period (...

yes / This paper investigates whether bond, issuer, industry and macro-specific variables account for the observed variation of credit spreads’ changes of global shipping bond issues before and after the onset of the subprime financial crisis. Results show that conclusions as to the significant variables of spreads depend significantly on whether two-way clusteradjusted standard errors are utilized, thus rendering results in the extant literature ambigious. The main determinants of global c...

From Preface: For the best part of a generation the "Shipping Question" was a talking-point in South Africa; yet today it is completely forgotten, and the name of its leading actor is virtually unknown. Scant reference to the controversy will be found in economic- or other histories; in the rare cases where it is alluded to, the treatment is superficial. This study seeks to fill that gap. At the outset it is advisable to define the scope of the work. It is not a history of the South African ship...

Parcel carriers are susceptible to changes in the supply chain industry, as the carrier industry consists of many stakeholders who have an impact on the way they function. The stakeholders in the carrier industry are directly affected by the market trends that in turn affect the carrier business. Currently, E-commerce has a major influence on supply chain design, the operation of parcel carriers and the consumers. One main area of this thesis study is to analyse the impact of E-commerce on the p...

As part of the negotiation of a trade contract, commercial buyers and sellers of goods in domestic and international trade must agree on shipment terms. Shipment terms fix the responsibility for the costs and risks of carriage between the two parties. The basic objective of this thesis is to describe the factors which influence the decision of Canadian trading firms to exercise responsibility over the ocean shipping arrangements in their trades. There are two secondary objectives. The first is...

The South African Maritime Industry has, as well as other industry sectors, recently been exposed to the dynamics that have been brought about by the Broad Based Black Economic Empowerment Policy which has become law in South Africa. The nature of the policy has created a situation where it (the policy itself) needs to have attention apportioned to it. The attention has been directed towards the implementation of the policy by the shipping companies. In addition, there has been attention directe...

This thesis set out to explore the forces that determine the rise and fall of industrial leadership. It attempted to do this by applying an industry life cycle model to the shipping industry. The industrial life cycle was posited on the basis of existing literature, particularly the growth of knowledge, evolutionary and institutional literature, which lend themselves to patterns of industrial growth and entrapment. On this basis, this thesis set out to examine whether industrial leadership can b...

In this study, we employ the global aerosol-climate model ECHAM-HAM to globally assess aerosol indirect effects (AIEs) resulting from shipping emissions of aerosols and aerosol precursor gases. We implement shipping emissions of sulphur dioxide (SO2), black carbon (BC) and particulate organic matter (POM) for the year 2000 into the model and quantify the model’s sensitivity towards uncertainties associated with the emission parameterisation as well as with the shipping emissions themselves.

Increasingly, a large number of scientific and technical applications exhibit dynamically generated parallelism or irregular data access patterns. These applications pose significant challenges to achieving scalable performance on large scale parallel systems. This thesis explores the advantages of using function shipping as a language level primitive to help simplify writing scalable irregular and dynamic parallel applications. Function shipping provides a mechanism to avoid exposing latency, b...
