Call for papers: JOURNAL OF MARITIME LOGISTICS (JML) Volume 4, Number 1

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.

Therefore, a concept of global goals to achieve the sustainable development in the maritime cluster emerged right on time to reduce the impact of this uncertainty which provides significant implications to global trade. The agility in the concept of sustainability is expected to provide a clear direction to the maritime cluster to sustain in the unpredicted trade environment.

The global goals for sustainability development in maritime logistics delivers 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. Their ideas will be an eye-opener for us to embrace the concept of global goals in maritime logistics for the benefits of upcoming generations.
