  • Multi-Level Port Resilience Planning in the UK: How Can Information Sharing Be Made Easier? Technological Forecasting and Social Change
    Shaw DR, Grainger A and Achuthan K (2017) Multi-level port resilience planning in the UK: How can information sharing be made easier? Technological Forecasting and Social Change. Special issue on Disaster Resilience. Multi-level port resilience planning in the UK: How can information sharing be made easier? Duncan R. Shaw, Nottingham University Business School, Jubilee Campus, Nottingham, UK. (corresponding author) Email: [email protected], Tel: +44 (0) 115 8467756. Andrew Grainger, Nottingham University Business School, Jubilee Campus, Nottingham, UK. [email protected]. Kamal Achuthan, Centre for Transport Studies, Department of Civil, Environmental and Geomatic Engineering, University College London, [email protected]. Abstract Port resilience planning is a subset of the wider disaster resilience literature and it is concerned with how port stakeholders work together to make port systems more resilience. Port stakeholders include government departments, the port operator, ship operators, importers, agents and logistics firms. Ports are vital for the operation of cities and whole countries, especial island nations like the UK. Single port systems are multi-level systems with complex operational-level relationships and interdependencies. Additional levels to this include government and the policy-level. Preparing for the crises and disasters that might befall ports requires information sharing between stakeholders about key dependencies and alternative actions. The complexity of ports presents barriers to information sharing; as do commercial and political sensitivities. This paper uses a multi-level case study on the UK’s system of ports to propose an approach to information sharing that uses the subjectivity of information from a supplier’s perspective and from a user’s perspective to reduce barriers of complexity, confidentiality and political sensitivity.
