This case study analyzes the challenges faced by Melbourne as a port logistics city, focusing on issues such as freight system reconfiguration, reliance on trucks, and inadequate infrastructure. It explores the advantages and disadvantages of implementing transloading and cross-docking strategies to improve efficiency, reduce costs, and minimize congestion. The study also includes a diagram illustrating cargo rotation to reduce empty container movements and concludes that a trans-loading strategy can work in other port logistics cities if properly implemented. This case study provides an in-depth analysis of the logistics challenges and potential solutions, demonstrating the importance of efficient supply chain management in a major port city.
