A framework of comprehensive shipping operations is developed according to the syllabus of the Shipping Management course at Universiti Utara Malaysia. The course core content in the game covers two main services—liner services and tramp services in the shipping industry. Methodology – A quasi-experimental research design was adopted to measure the effectiveness of the board game in giving students some understanding about shipping operations. Data were gathered from a sample of 73 undergraduate students enrolled in a Shipping Management course, using a non-equivalent control group design. The data were analysed using the McNemar Test to determine the level of understanding in shipping operations. Findings – It was found that using the board game in learning activities contributed to the improvement of students’ knowledge 156 Malaysian Journal of Learning and Instruction: Vol.

  • An Example of Service Intermediaries in the Maritime Industry Agnieszka Nowinska CBS INO [email protected]
    Paper to be presented at the DRUID Academy conference in Rebild, Aalborg, Denmark on January 21-23, 2015 Opening the Black Box of Intermediation: an example of Service intermediaries in the Maritime Industry Agnieszka Nowinska CBS INO [email protected] Abstract Business model innovation and strategic use of relational capital: shipping intermediaries as an example Agnieszka Nowinska Copenhagen Business School Year of enrolment: 2014. Expected end: 2017. Email: [email protected] This paper attempts to answer how external environmental factors affect intermediating firms within the maritime industry â?? the middlemen that plays a very important role in the sector. The category encompasses firms such as liner and port agencies, freight forwarders and shipbrokers, who link shipping companies with customers, regulatory authorities and suppliers. So far only fragmented information is available on the general value creation strategies of these intermediaries and their behaviour towards the environmental pressures, with the main contributions stressing competitive pressures and demanding customers. The aim of this paper is to use empirical research to increase our knowledge of this topic. The maritime industry is an example of a highly dynamic sector within which the premium for efficiency erodes fast. It is characterized by the complexity of its operations and its value chain, by its global character and by volatility. As such, the industry offers an interesting and generalizable environment for research. Moreover, the choice of the middleman, an intermediary in the value chain, as the object of study, offers additional insights into the complex industry and value chain dynamics. This paper draws on qualitative data originating with interviews with industry representatives and can also be regarded as a preliminary approach to a broader project.

  • Best Practice Ship Management Study 2013 Fraunhofer CML
    In cooperation with Best Practice Ship Management Study 2013 Fraunhofer CML Foreword Ship managers are under increasing pressure. Overcapacities in the market are driving charter rates down. Ship owners face higher costs to finance vessels. Ship operators fight for cargo and drive down their main cost block, which is fuel. Ship managers sit in the middle and have to look after more and more for the same management fees to gain owners management contracts. At the same time lie the requirements on availability of the vessels. Quality and safety of operations, management and treatment of crew and transparency of costs spend are increasing. GL and Fraunhofer CML experts conducted a study involving about 100 ship managing companies across the globe to find out what they are doing to improve their operations and what they consider as “best practice” in the industry. “Best practice” in this study comprises all approaches, procedures, business models or tools that ship managers are using to do their business smarter, safer and greener, i.e. to be on top of competition. We invite the reader of this study to check these best practices against his own operations and get inspiration and ideas on additional improvement areas. Especially in the process and supporting tools part, we see a Iot of hidden potential that will make a big difference in costs, quality and/or speed of a ship manager. We wish you find some interesting points in this study. Enjoy reading! Prof. Dr.-Ing. Carlos Jahn Dr. Torsten Büssow Head of Fraunhofer Center for Head of Maritime
