About the Journal

Journal of Maritime Logistics (JML) is a flagship journal in the domain of maritime logistics . This journal collects scholarly articles on different topics related to issues in the maritime industry. It provides the results of the latest research and analysis on the foreland, seaports and hinterland. It also explores several substantial areas including logistics, policy, operation, logistics, management and navigation-related to three main agenda; ocean activities, seaports and hinterland. 

Maritime logistics attributed to the physical integration of modes of transport facilitated by the type of cargo movement at minimal possible costs, fuel consumption, emissions and the evolving demands of end-users that require the application of logistics concepts and the achievement of global goals. Therefore, the concept of integration, be it physical (intermodal or multimodal), economic/strategic (vertical integration, governance structure) or organisational (relational, people and process integration across organisations) as an ongoing attempt to create greater value for shareholders and stakeholders.

Maritime logistics has been exposed to several substantial transformations including trade, containerisation and the fourth industrial revolution. The rapid increase in world trade uncertainty in the past decade has restructured the global maritime industry and has brought about new developments, deregulation, liberalisation, competition toward sustainability or global goals. The vicissitudes are kept mounting from various directions and these phenomena have caused instability in the maritime trade due to inconsistency in the logistics and supply chain as a whole.

The global goals for sustainable development in maritime logistics deliver foremost concern on conservation through the planet (environment), people (social) and profits (economy). Journal of Maritime Logistics has taken the first step by providing a platform to gather valuable inputs from researchers around the globe to contribute their valuable ideas through significant academic research.   

This journal is expected to contribute to the development of science from theoretical and practical aspects especially in maritime domain.
