ENVIRONEMTAL RISKS IN MARITIME LOGISTICS
Significance of the research
The maritime industry has been able to develop proper strategies on the implementation
of risk management strategies in supply chain and maritime logistics context. There have been
various risk identified in the marine operations that has been creating an impact in the
environment. Reduction in dealing with different types of people along with the environment. It
can be concluded that the risk management strategies have been helping in reducing impact of
risks in the maritime industry (Yuen and Thai 2017). The growth and security of the logistics
chain has been maintained properly in the research. This research has focused on taking steps by
maritime logistics industry has been observed with various risks included in the decision-making
process. The concept of maritime logistics have been maintained properly in the dependency of
physical and economic integration of organization. There have been various types of maritime
cargos and products including break bulk, neo bulk, containerized cargo, liquid bulk and dry
bulk. The break bulk has been commodities that are required for loading intermodal containers or
in bulk have been transferred from one mode of transport to another mode (Song and Panayides
2015). The sub-category of general cargo has been the neo bulk that are packaged and loaded or
unloaded transferred at ports at units. The process of containerization in maritime logistics have
been the process of intermodal transport that help containers to be transported from one place to
another. The global expansion of maritime logistics have been helping in loading different mode
of transport. Thus has been helping in increasing the quality and quantity of transport of goods
in the maritime industry. The liquid type of bulk cargos have been transported in bulk and large
quantities in unpacked manners. The increase in industrialization has been helping in need of
transporting huge bulk freight all over the globe (Shin et al. 2018). There have been major use of
bulks in which ton-miles have been shipped by Maritime Transportation across the world.
