Security Based Operation in Container Line Supply Chain: a Literature Review

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Decision Aid Models for Disaster Management and Emergencies

Part of the book series: Atlantis Computational Intelligence Systems ((ATLANTISCIS,volume 7))

Abstract

Container Line Supply Chain (CLSC) plays a dominant role in world cargo transportation, but also subjects to various threats during its operation due to its inherent features. The threats can not only cause disruptions for CLSC operation, they may also lead to various disasters globally. To help to manage the potential disasters, in this chapter, current research on security for CLSC operation is reviewed. Specifically, the research is divided into three categories: (1) research from a general level, including standards, regulations, codes, etc. issued by international, national and industrial organizations, aiming at improving CLSC security, (2) research on specific security issues in CLSC, e.g., threats faced by CLSC, features of CLSC, criteria for security assessment of CLSC, etc., and (3) research on different risk analysis tools and their applications in CLSC security related areas. Further, the limitations of current research are also analyzed and potential directions for future research in this field are suggested.
