LUSIVE STUDY Ocean Freight: Ports as Inhibitors and Enablers of Global Supply Chain Ecosystems
CONCLUSION
Shipping lines and container ports have been at the epicentre of the exponential growth of
international trade in an increasingly globalised world. Despite the many and varied constraints,
continuing innovation and investments in hardware and software by port community
stakeholders has ensured the ongoing development of infrastructure and related services to
optimise port operations and their role as transit gateways - through which cargo travels on its
journey through the customers supply chain ecosystem. While today’s challenges will need steady
nerves and considerable investment, there is every reason to believe that the industry will
continue to thrive and meet the demands of the global economic community.
