A questionnaire was distributed to managers at 12 container terminals in Portugal and Spain, receiving 122 validated responses. The results confirm that port and terminal characteristics influence terminal container performance through their impact on efficiency, productivity, activity levels, and customer satisfaction.
Gabon Corridors Performance Evaluation: New Strategic Approach Based-Supply C...World-Academic Journal
This paper is aimed at evaluating Gabonese corridors’ supply chain and transport logistics efficiency. The main purposes of this paper are to: (a) carry out investigations and develop enabling environment strategies; (b) suggest a strategy for boosting investment to ameliorate efficiencies. The scope of the measurement includes: supply chain efficiency (corridor infrastructure; enabling environment; stakeholders; the transport industry) and transport logistic. The principal objective of this study is to help the Gabonese Government in developing the strategic plan for the Gabonese corridors. Results from the present study obviously show that the inter-connection between the enabling environment (road, transport industry services, port and rail transport infrastructure, and the level of services) available to stakeholders have all combined to have an unfavorable effect on transport logistics services in the Gabonese corridors.
This document provides an overview of a study examining the potential for a flexible transport system called VPATS (Variable Price and Attribute Transport System) to better meet transport needs, especially for disadvantaged groups. Key points:
- VPATS would allow transport attributes like availability, journey time and exclusivity of use to vary based on willingness to pay, providing integrated services at low cost.
- Existing transport often fails to serve changing travel patterns and some groups' needs. VPATS could improve access to jobs, services and social opportunities.
- The study will consider evidence on how people respond to transport attributes like fare, availability and comfort to design VPATS scenarios to test operational and implementation feasibility.

The Florida Department of Transportation, District Seven has developed a strategic plan for freight mobility in the Tampa Bay region to support economic development and capitalize on the
new trade environment that includes the growth of the region as a distribution hub, the expansion of the Panama Canal, and the eventual opening of free trade with Cuba. The Strategic Freight
Plan includes a policy framework to guide the identification of investment strategies and roadway design that support the primary corridor function and are compatible with the land uses and
associated activities within travel corridors in the region.
This document discusses changes in maritime freight transport and their impacts on ports. It notes that containerization, larger vessels, and expanded hinterlands have increased competition between ports by making them closer substitutes. Global supply chains and the rise of transshipment hubs have further reduced ports' power over shippers and shipping companies. While these changes have driven efficiency, they have also concentrated market power among fewer players. This raises issues around competition, pollution, congestion, and infrastructure that require policy attention at national or international levels.

This dissertation investigates the relationships between land use characteristics, public transport network features, and the financial viability of public transport services at a corridor scale in the South African context. The author developed a public transport corridor operating cost model to simulate the effects of variations in population density, density distribution, land use mix, destination accessibility, mode technology, and service configuration on financial viability. Key findings include that density distribution had a significant impact on trip length and viability through its effect on feeder services. Bicycle-based density articulation reduced total network costs relative to pedestrian-based distribution. Land use mix also strongly influenced peak passenger volume and viability. The study suggests detailed land use plans are needed for transport corridors, with targets for density, artic

This document summarizes a research paper that evaluates the efficiency of public transportation systems in larger cities using data envelopment analysis (DEA). Four DEA models are used to measure efficiency based on services used and space used. The analysis finds that medium-sized European cities like Bern, Munich, Prague and Zurich demonstrate high efficiency. Mega-cities perform poorly in models measuring efficiency of services used. Lowest performance is seen in some Spanish cities, Athens, and cities in the Middle East and North America. Regression analysis also found higher DEA efficiency results in lower private car usage in large cities. The research is limited by only using 2001 data and being limited to the DEA method.

Selecting sustainable alternatives for cruise ships in Venice using multi-cri...Marco Pesce
The rapid growth of cruise ship tourism increases the use of historic port cities as strategic hubs for cruise ship
operators. Benefits derived from increased tourism for the municipality and cruise ships are often at odds with
the environmental and social impacts associated with continued historical port use. This study illustrates the
use of Multi-Criteria Decision Analysis (MCDA) for weighing of various criteria and metrics related to the environment,
economy, and social sustainability for the selection of a sustainable cruise line route. Specifically,
MCDA methodology was employed in Venice, Italy to illustrate its application. First, the four most representative
navigational route projects among those presented to local authorities were assessed based on social, economic,
and environmental considerations. Second, a pool of experts representing the local authority, private port businesses,
and cruise line industry were consulted to evaluate the validity and weight assignments for the selected
criteria. Finally, a sensitivity analysis was employed to assess the robustness of the recommendations using an
evaluation of weight changes and their effects on the ranking of alternative navigational routes. The results
were presented and discussed in a multi-stakeholder meeting to further the route selection process.
The Association for Metropolitan Mobility (AMM) carried out various projects and activities in 2014 related to sustainable urban mobility.

How to choose the best transportation with supply chainguest06c40002
The document discusses principles for choosing the best transportation method for a supply chain. It outlines 7 principles: economy of scale, economy of distance, parties involved in transportation decisions and their perspectives, transportation functionality, transportation modes, and the impact of transportation mode on associated costs. The parties listed are shippers, carriers, government, and the public. Modes discussed include air freight, land/road/rail/pipeline, and package carriers. Costs that can be affected include movement, inventory, limitations, packaging, insurance, damage, and customer service costs.
The document discusses Singapore's shifting public transport model away from a regulated franchise system towards one with greater state involvement. It describes how the government is taking on ownership of fixed assets like trains and buses, and shortening operator contracts. This approach is similar to models used in London and other cities where operators bid for contracts with clear service standards. While nationalization raises concerns about efficiency, the current system in Singapore also faces issues, and greater state ownership may help address problems like rising subsidies.

Utilisation of transport capacities and opportunity to mitigate negative envi...Vilkelis
The document discusses strategies for reducing the negative environmental impacts of logistics operations through better utilization of transport capacities. It analyzes current inefficiencies like high rates of empty truck kilometers. The key strategies proposed are: 1) Increasing use of low-emission transport and intermodal solutions. 2) Optimizing transport capacity utilization through consolidation centers and multi-user warehouses. 3) Redesigning distribution networks to reduce the number of transition points and increase distances between terminals to enable more intermodal transport.
This document proposes a comprehensive framework for assessing port performance using multiple perspectives. It discusses limitations of prior research in focusing only on economic indicators and measurable data. The framework uses Quality Function Deployment (QFD) to consider expectations of various stakeholders from social, economic, political, and ethical dimensions. A literature review found most studies focus on container terminals and throughput volumes. The document argues port assessment needs a broader, more strategic approach beyond static data on efficiency. It aims to address gaps and develop a holistic method for evaluating ports as complex business units.
This document discusses port planning, including capacity planning and management. It covers:
- The complex process of port capacity planning, which involves design, evaluation/financing, and stakeholders.
- Factors that impact port demand, including economic conditions, trade flows, ship size/technology.
- Approaches to modeling port demand, including transport demand modeling and port choice modeling.
- Key elements of port traffic forecasting such as trade generation/distribution models.
- Strategic port planning processes including objectives, strategies, implementation, and performance review.
- Operational port planning including berth planning, yard planning, and gate/intermodal planning.
This document discusses analyzing port performances and logistics costs using a multidimensional causal approach. It first reviews literature on port performance indicators and identifies dimensions of port performance like capacity and efficiency. It then establishes a relationship between port performance measured through these dimensions and average turnaround time of vessels using regression analysis. Finally, it develops a causal model based on system dynamics to study the impact of changes in port performance on number of vessels and total cargo throughput. The model explains causality and identifies limits to port growth.
This document describes a study that examines the effect of port and container terminal characteristics on terminal performance. The study develops a research model linking port/terminal characteristics to performance measures like efficiency, productivity, activity, and customer satisfaction. A questionnaire was distributed to managers at 12 container terminals to collect data on characteristics and performance. The results will be analyzed to determine which characteristics significantly influence terminal performance. The goal is to better understand success factors for terminals and how to develop new ones.

The aim of the paper is to investigate maritime logistic processes, focusing on efficiency and coordination. The topic is timely because, in the European context, the EU Directive no. 2010/65/EU imposes the adoption of digital procedures concerning documents and information, in order to facilitate the relationships between all the actors of a port community system (PCS). From a theoretical viewpoint, we adopt the evolutionary economic approach, since it helps to understand the change processes due to its focus on organizational routines and their institutionalization. From a methodological viewpoint, we adopt a case-study approach, investigating the port of Salerno (south of Italy), which is involved in the “Smart Tunnel Project”, whose aim is to create a platform for intelligent logistic services. As a result, we provide a model that aims to replace the old inter- organizational routines with new more efficient ones, also improving the knowledge of the logistic processes through a facilitation of the exchange of documents and information between all the involved actors.

New Challenges within Transportation and Logistics Management
1. Introduction
In a world that has fully embraced globalization and regional trade, transportation has become one of the most important businesses processes which enable effective carriage of raw materials to the manufacturers and manufactured goods to the end user. Currently, all the means of transportation are effectively used depending on the preference of the client. This crucial business process has led to the emergence of the transport logistics managers whose main role is to ensure that goods being transported reach their destination safely and on time. Over the years, transportation logistics has become one the most important process in the supply chain of any business as the key to satisfying customer demands and gaining a competitive advantage. However, the growth of the transportation and logistics industry has led to the development of new challenges over the years which continue to affect logistics management. The main challenge within the transportation and logistics management results from planning and risk management which has been caused by the changing environments within the industry. This paper seeks to investigate some of the planning and risk management challenges by answering the question; “what are the new challenges facing logistics managers and how can they be tackled?” It will outline three major challenges within transportation and logistics management and discuss probable solutions to each.
2. Literature Review
To research the challenges within transportation and logistics management, this paper will investigate the relationship between logistics management and supply chain management so as to specifically focus on the former throughout the research. This is because there is a strong relationship between transportation logistics management and the supply chains in that the former has become a critical element in supply chain management (Wang et al. 2016). The use of these terms in different resources has further expounded on this relationships forming the definition of these terms as follows: Logistics management is the act of organizing for the commercial transportation of goods or raw materials by ensuring that the transportation systems maintain an effective flow whereby the products being transported can reach the receiver safely and on time (Christopher, 2016). This activity incorporates different procedures such as recording data and information about the flow of goods, warehousing, and transportation.
According to Wang et al. (2016), it is the role of transportation and logistics managers to ensure quality handling of all the data and figures which account for daily operations and ensure that there is smooth coordination of tasks within a tran.
Agents Methodologies For E-Chartering Market DesignMartha Brown
This document proposes a multi-agent system called MAVCM for electronic chartering in maritime markets. It analyzes the traditional chartering process involving a charterer, shipowner, and shipbroker. The MAVCM system would automate this process using software agents to investigate vessel and cargo options, negotiate freight rates, and facilitate cargo transportation over the internet. The document outlines the key players in chartering markets, requirements for an electronic system, and proposes designing MAVCM using agent-based technologies and methodologies to improve on traditional chartering limitations.

MODERN TECHNOLOGIES USE IN TRANSPORTATION ENGINEERINGIRJET Journal
This document discusses modern technologies that can impact transportation engineering. It reviews areas where advanced technologies can improve transportation, including vehicular navigation and control using GPS, computer-aided planning and design systems, robotics and automation applications for construction and maintenance, and machine vision for vehicle detection instead of sensors embedded in roads. The technologies offer potential for increased efficiency, cost savings, quality improvements and safety benefits. Widespread adoption of these technologies in transportation could require changes to engineering practice and education.
Planning for Metro Transit Transportation System a simplified Approach: A Cas...IJAEMSJORNAL
Currently Muscat the capital city of Oman is suffering from many traffic and transported related problems. Some of the serious concerns are high vehicle ownerships, low occupancy in personalized vehicles and poor patronization towards public transportation systems. Ruwi is the City center and a major Central Business District in Muscat. More than one million commuters daily visit Ruwi City center for their day to day business. The common transportation related problems often reported by the citizens at Ruwi CBD, are traffic congestion, over speeding of vehicles, inadequacy of parking places and pedestrian safety. All such problems can be eliminated by providing efficient public transportation system by restricting the entry of personal vehicles and para transit. In this technical paper, panning and designing of public transit facility by metro transport facility is attempted by capturing land use and travel information of daily commuters at Ruwi CBD area. An extensive literature review is carried for establishing the bench marking while planning metro transit system. For this the CBD area is cordoned and divided into traffic analysis zones based on the land use characteristics. Travel information of the commuter is estimated through interviewing them at the CBD entry gateway points and work locations. Land use characteristics are captured through reconnaissance of the area and random inspection of land parcels. Land use Information captured through the Google images and physical verification of data of the selected sample land parcels helped in estimation and characterization of the land use. Questionnaire survey at the activity centers helped in estimation of total trips attracted by the land uses. Travel characteristics, derived through the personal interviews of the commuters, facilitated for the estimation of total trips. Trip factors for different land uses are derived. Total trips generated are quantified and is used in planning of Metro Transit facility at the Ruwi city center. Commuter circulation pattern for the metro transit is also scheduled. Also it is proposed to carry extensive literature for establishing bench mark while planning the transit system.
Urban transport exchange hubs play a key role as an integral part of the transport networks by facilitating relations between public transport modes but also have a function in the city urban planning and in-service facilities [1]. Time savings, urban integration, better use of waiting times and improved operating models are some of the expected benefits of developing efficient city-hubs [2,3]. However, although interchanges are crucial for improving accessibility, there are still problems remaining such as seams or bottlenecks, which are mainly reported in the coordination between the different transport modes and the use of the information systems and management model. In order to examine a part of these problems, the three years (September 2012-February 2015) City-HUB consortium of nine European research institutes from nine countries belonging to the European conference of transport research institutes (ECTRI) project studied 27 multimodal interchanges [4].
This document discusses direct and indirect transport costs. It begins by explaining that indirect transport costs are often inadequately represented in models. It then outlines different types of costs related to freight transport, including direct costs from transit and loading/unloading, as well as costs associated with transport service quality like time-related inventory costs. For high-value freight, factors like speed of delivery and reliability are important. Improving transport service quality can lead to savings elsewhere. The document focuses on issues for medium- to long-distance interregional transport in Europe.

ABSTRACT: The role of ports has changed profoundly in the last two decades because of the strategies
initiated by Supply Chains, but also because of the strategies developed by terminal operators and shipping
lines.
The goal of our research is to put in perspective the possibilities of relational integration of ports Moroccans
Supply Chains, and to show how this integration could have a positive impact on their triptychs "Costs, Quality,
Deadlines".
During the confrontation of our literature review, we were able to identify a series of research hypotheses
influencing the relational integration of the port with Supply Chains.
KEYWORDS - Relational proximity - Maritime clusters - Port Industry - Supply Chain.
I. INTRODUCTION
On import and export, the organization of logistics chains usually passes through a port. As a result, logistically,
ports are expected to play a key and essential role in the competitiveness of Supply Chains.
In addition, the strategies of outsourcing and globalization, as well as the revolution brought about by the advent
of the container on the complexification of international flows, have had consequences for the stakes of the port.
These have changed the criteria for performance and competitiveness with regard to logistics chains.
In the face of these significant developments in logistics chain strategies, ports are no longer considered to be
obligatory places of passage, but as actors in the process of evolution, given the new functions performed and
the role played, which have undergone significant changes in a number of areas. by becoming logistics hubs for
international trade and high added value centers seeking to optimize variables such as deadlines, quality of
services and costs.
As a result, our research problematic revolves around two main questions that are theoretical and
methodological in nature. The first question aims to define and measure the practice of relational integration of
Supply Chains by the port.
The second question raised by our research problem is of a methodological nature. It concerns the causal
relationship between the integration of Supply Chains by the port and its triptych "Costs, Quality, Delays".
To do this, a quantitative study was conducted among the companies in charge of port operations in Morocco.
II. THE LITERATURE REVIEW
1. Concept of Relationship
Anderson JC, Narus JA, (1990) define the relationship as "a process in which two actors form over time
powerful and extensive social-economic-technical-service linkages in order to reduce costs and / or or to
increase the value received and thus to derive mutual benefit ".
In the sense of Czepiel (1990) the relation is "is a mutual recognition of a special status between trading
partners", whereas Mourey (2008) finds that "the relation is a set of links and relationships between entities and
persons constituting the foundations of an inter-organizational relationship ".

International Journal of Business Marketing and Management (IJBMM) Page 59
The port is a community of many interdependent and complementary actors. In fact, the services rendered in a
defined geographical area for goods and ships (including mooring, pilotage, towing) involve the direct and
indirect intervention of a multitude of organizations. These include in particular: (the port authority, shipowners,
cargo handlers, customs, maritime affairs, logistic service providers, veterinary services, agent companies
(forwarding agent, freight forwarder: carrying out on behalf of third parties, exporters or importers, the
formalities necessary for the export or import of the goods).
Burn D., Guerin F. (2014)
In order to provide a logistical service, the port actor composed of various actors operates on the physical flows
and information flows necessary for the port passage. This network composed of actors, bring their resources
and their skills, in order to ensure the transit and or the valuation of the goods.
This piloting is complex because the organization of the port activity and its terrestrial extensions must take into
account the diversity of goods, and the need to achieve a degree of integration of the various actors (consignees,
shipowners, freight forwarders , customs broker, road transport, etc.). As a result, it has become necessary to
develop partnership relations with these different actors, to define the respective roles, as well as the evolutions
of these roles.
III. Regional integration of ports
Chlomoudis et al (2003) note that the main role of the port is to develop the culture of trust between ports and its
users, to follow market trends and trends. They add that it is important to have a strategy based on the
management of the network of market players, but also on the setting of objectives in cooperation with the
various partners (public authorities, municipal authorities, scientific institutes, etc. .) and the setting up of
information and inter-modality systems.
Thus, by analyzing the way in which port operators can meet the challenge of integration, Carbone V ,. De
Martino, M (2003) indicate that port operators are involved in several processes, but high competitiveness
requires a higher level of integration.
3. Relational proximity management in maritime clusters: the case of Morocco
International Journal of Business Marketing and Management (IJBMM) Page 60
Notteboom, T E (2004) notes that structural change in the container shipping industry has had an impact on port
performance criteria. They are required to strengthen their terminal operating capacity, develop a network of
partnerships and achieve Integration along the supply chain.
Burn D., Guerin F. (2014) note that the piloting of the port is complex, because the organization of the port
activity and its land extensions must take into account the diversity of goods, and the need to achieve a degree of
integration of the different actors (consignees, shipowners, freight forwarders, customs agents, road transport,
etc.). As a result, it has become necessary to develop partnership relations with these different actors, to define
the respective roles, as well as the evolutions of these roles.
Haugstetter, H. Cahoon, S (2010) argue that the port is required to get involved and collaborate with a network
of actors who are even outside the port boundaries. According to the same authors, this collaboration comes first
and foremost through the acquisition of knowledge and the integration of information.
In order to study the impact of the integration of the port on Supply Chains on the performance of (quality, cost,
responsiveness, personalization), Song DW and Panayides PM (2008) conducted a global survey of a sample of
300 container terminal ports. The respondents are essentially the port managers and container terminal
managers.
Song D.W., Panayides P.M. (2008) identified 11 variables to measure the level of integration of the port with
Supply Chains. These are: Use of Information and Communication Technologies, Shipping Line Relations,
Value-Added Services, Integration of Modes of Transport, Relationship with Land Transport Operators,
Practices and Performance of integration of channels, costs, quality, reliability, customization, responsiveness.
Relations with shipping companies

designing the flow of goods and information.
-The relationship based on mutual trust, rather than on contractual
obligations.
-The collaboration with the armament of line to assure a quality of

-Use integrated information systems to share data / information with

-Implementation of computerized port service systems
-The importance of studying how rail / road transport operators use
port facilities
- Listening to land transport operators in the development /
upgrading of our port facilities
Song D.W., Panayides P.M.(2008)
Song D.W., Panayides P.M. (2008) indicate that there is a strong positive relationship between the adoption of
technology and the quality of services rendered. However, quality is a major criterion for the selection and
evaluation of port services.
Another important theoretical hypothesis asserted by the authors, is that the establishment of collaborative
relations with customers by the ports have a beneficial effect on the reactivity and the reliability as two criteria
of performance measures used in the era of the logistics and SCM.
IV. METHODOLOGY
Our research approach is of a hypothetico-deductive nature. In a hypothetico-deductive reasoning, the researcher
states postulates, tests these hypotheses to validate them. Thus, "an hypothesis is a proposition or a set of
propositions that a researcher makes provisionally to answer his central question, his problematic. The
4. Relational proximity management in maritime clusters: the case of Morocco
International Journal of Business Marketing and Management (IJBMM) Page 61
hypotheses are then tested in the field. So they must be observable, testable, refutable ... "indeed, the next step is
to perform the hypothesis test. These will either be confirmed or infirmed.
The population of our study was selected taking into account the purpose and objectives of our research. It is
made up of companies operating port operations in Morocco. We have selected all the companies operating in
the field of port handling. In addition, our research focuses on the practice of relational integration of Supply
Chains by the port actor.
V. Presentation of the conceptual research model
As part of our research, we propose what are the dimensions of the relational integration of Supply
Chains by the port that influence its triptych "costs, quality, deadlines".
(Independent variable) (Dependent variable)
The relational integration of
SC by port
The triptych "costs,
quality, delay"
The general hypothesis of our research is formulated as follows: The ports achieving relational integration with
Supply Chains are best positioned in terms of the triptych "Costs, Quality, Delays".
VI. Operationalization of model variable
Concerning the measures of variables, we referred to pre-existing measures taken from the literature review.
These measurements were then pre-tested and translated into French. The model variables were measured in a
multi-item measure using a 5-point scale (strongly agree / strongly disagree).
The dependent variables of the conceptual model are three in number: the costs of port services, the length of
time the cargo is at the port, the quality of port services.
1.1. Operationalization of the dependent variable
The independent variables of the conceptual model are three: the costs of port services, the delay of the port
passage, and the quality of port services:
- The costs of port services
The port environment is changing and leads ports to monitor all strategic variables to maintain and strengthen
their competitiveness. "The competitiveness of a port can be apprehended in terms of costs, prices, technologies,
quality, ..." Elkhyat M (2002). In addition, the importance of the costs of port services, can be explained by the
following statement: "A simple increase of 10% of transport costs can indeed reduce by 20% the volume of
trade or cause a phenomenon of cost inflation (Carruthers, 2012)."
- The delay of the port passage
"Timeliness is the issue of greatest concern to shippers, of which they attach the greatest importance", Fassio G.,
Mestre P. (2009) indicate that the overall time of the goods in the minimum port is a major expectation for
shippers (suppliers and consignees of passing goods), as well as, the overall time of the minimum stop for the
shipowners, and the respect of a standard time to carry out the service (time of movement of a gantry ...) for the
service providers of the place portuaire.
- The quality of port services
5. Relational proximity management in maritime clusters: the case of Morocco
International Journal of Business Marketing and Management (IJBMM) Page 62
Burn D., Guerin F. (2014) identifies five dimensions of the quality of the following port services: reliability,
safety of ships and goods, variety of destinations and range.
In addition, Fassio G., Le Mestre P (2009) find that "The quality of port places is associated with their
reliability. It depends on the quality of the equipment, the obsolescence of which can cause breakdowns and
longer lead times. "
1.2. Operationalization of the independent variable
De Martino, M., Morvillo, A (2008), find that the priority role of the port is to strengthen collaboration and
coordination with different stakeholders.
In the sense of (port as link) port pilotage is complex, because the organization of its activities and its terrestrial
extensions must take into account the diversity of goods, and the need to achieve a degree of integration of
different actors (consignees, shipowners, freight forwarders, customs agents, road transport, etc.). As a result, it
has become necessary to develop partnership relations with these different actors, to define the respective roles,
as well as the evolutions of these roles.
- The frame
The constitution of our frame was confronted with a set of constraints. These are largely explained by the lack
of databases (a case often encountered in developing countries), corresponding to information on port handling
operators in Morocco.
Thus, the leaders of the ANP (as a public actor responsible for issuing concession contracts to port
stakeholders), refused to provide us with an exhaustive and up-to-date list of port handling operators in
Morocco. They hold that to its confidentiality. Faced with this constraint, we decided to use the relationships
that we were able to establish, during our exploratory study, with the actors working in the field of transit,
consignment, and maritime transport. In total, the number of players in our population is 15. We estimate a total
number of port stakeholders in Morocco which is close to 19. That is a response rate of 79%.
- Reliability of the questionnaire
The reliability of the questionnaire aims to measure the internal consistency of the different scales of the
integration of the port with Supply Chains, which evaluates how the items of the same scale are inter-related,
using the Cronbach's alpha coefficient.
To verify that our scale is sufficiently accurate to be used in a questionnaire, we analyzed the psychometric
properties of this measuring instrument using Cronbach's alpha coefficient. Thus, a Cronbach alpha coefficient
greater than 0.70 allowed us to conclude a good internal consistency of the scales (Fayers and Machin, 2000).
According to the results obtained from the test, a Cronbach alpha coefficient of 0.94 reflects a good internal
consistency of the measurement scales used.
VII. DISCUSSION OF THE RESULTS
We proceeded, in respect of reliability of the research, to join in annex (n ° 1) the different SPSS outputs
corresponding to the treatments carried out on the data.
The Khi-2 test makes it possible to verify the absence of a statistical link between two variables X and Y. The
null hypothesis (H0) of this test is the following one: the two variables X and Y are independent.
The test of the link between "" Collaborative relationships with shippers, armaments, and land carriers "and the
costs of port services indicates that the constructs" Involvement in the design and development of port services
"Implication in the development / upgrading of our port facilities meetings with maritime and land transport
operators to discuss issues of mutual interest implication to reduce costs shipper segmentation are significantly
related to the cost of services cost of the port passage of goods and cost of port passage of ships
6. Relational proximity management in maritime clusters: the case of Morocco
International Journal of Business Marketing and Management (IJBMM) Page 63
However, the test indicates that built partnership relationship involvement to ensure a better quality of service is
not significantly related cost of the port passage of goods
This result is a relative rejection of our research hypothesis that there is a positive relationship between
"Collaborative relationships with shippers, shipping lines, and land carriers" and "the costs of port services. This
result can be explained by the following observation: "It is certainly still premature to speak of integration
(Fawcett SE, Magnan GM 2002, Chen H., Daugherty PJ, Roath AS 2009) of the Moroccan supply chain
because of lack of technical infrastructure (logistics platforms) and organizational (logistics providers Houssaini
2009)
This lack of relational integration makes the results obtained insignificant, due to the proximity of the data
reported by the different operators of port operations.
The test of the link existing between "" Collaborative relations with shippers, shipping lines, and land carriers
"and the delay of the port passage indicates that the constructs:" the partnership relationship "," Involvement in
the development / "the upgrading of our port facilities ", and" meetings with the shipping and land transport
operators to discuss issues of mutual interest "and are not significantly related to the ship's turnaround time and
transit time merchandise.
However, the test indicates that the constructs "Involvement in the design and development of port services" and
"implication to reduce costs", "implication to ensure a better quality of service" and "segmentation of shippers"
are significantly related to stopover time of ships.
In addition, five constructs of the explanatory variable "Collaborative relationships with shippers, liner shipping,
and land carriers" out of a total of seven were rejected by the test.
This result allows us to reject relatively our research hypothesis relating to the existence of a positive link
between "Collaborative relationships with shippers, shipping lines, and land carriers" and "the transit time of
goods."
This unexpected result can be explained by the absence of collaborative relationships that integrate the variables
to explain "delay" between port operators, and shippers, shipping lines and land transport companies.
The test of the link existing between "" Collaborative relations with the shippers, the armaments of the line, and
the terrestrial carriers "and the quality of the port services indicates that with the exception of the built" meetings
with the operators of the marine and terrestrial transport to discuss issues of mutual interest ", the set of
constructs of the explanatory variable" Collaborative relationships with shippers, armaments, and land-based
carriers "are significantly unrelated to the variable to explain" the quality of port services "both in terms of
service reliability and ship safety.
In contrast, the test indicates that the constructs of the explanatory variable are significantly related to the
security of the goods.
This result allows us to reject relatively our research hypothesis relating to the existence of a positive link
between "Collaborative relations with the shippers, the armaments of the line, and the terrestrial carriers" and
"the quality of the harbor services."
Two explanations can be given for these unexpected results. Since a number of statements state that "Ports are
today forced to develop partnerships and strategic alliances to provide reliable and innovative services"
The first explanation is the absence of a mediating variable between the two variables "Collaborative
relationships with shippers, shipping lines, and land carriers" and "the quality of port services. "
The second explanation that can be advanced is the lack of a relational integration of the ports. That said, the
responses given did not significantly reflect the differences in reliability of the services rendered and the
intensity of the relationships developed.
VIII. CONCLUSION
It is certainly still premature to talk about integration (Fawcett SE, Magnan GM 2002, Chen H., Daugherty PJ,
Roath AS 2009) of the Moroccan supply chain due to lack of technical infrastructure (logistics platforms), lack
of development collaborative relationships with port users, and organizational (logistics providers). This delay
ultimately threatens the international positioning of Morocco because the path of excellence to access the global
market will primarily be through integration with global supply chains. It is the responsibility of the port
7. Relational proximity management in maritime clusters: the case of Morocco
International Journal of Business Marketing and Management (IJBMM) Page 64
industry to initiate this integration, because it is even the existence of the port itself. A port that is not integrated
with global SCs is destined to disappear.
In this respect, it should be emphasized that the changing competitive stakes require continual reorganization.
We went from the individual competitiveness of the firm to the collective competitiveness embodied by the
Supply Chain. This again imposes the passage from an internal individual efficiency to a collective efficiency of
the SC inducing the replacement of the transactional paradigm by the relational paradigm.
