Abstract

The two most significant dynamic factors in the interplay of the maritime supply chain are competition and cooperation. Shipping companies and ports must make strategic decisions to ensure progressive growth within the ever-evolving market. Game theory provides an important analytical method for examining the dynamics of co-opetition among participants of the maritime supply chain. This paper reviews 172 journal papers on the strategic use of game theory in the maritime supply chain that were published from 2004 to 2024 and proposes an integrative analytical framework based on multidimensional competition and horizontal and vertical cooperation models. The literature review indicates that internal demand drivers and external environment drivers combine to shape competition within the maritime supply chain. Simultaneously, the design of appropriate cooperation mechanisms is key to the successful formation and long-term prosperity of alliances. Finally, this paper synthesizes existing research with the current issues and latest developments within the maritime industry, providing a comprehensive summary of future research directions for the field.

期刊介绍： Transport Policy is an international journal aimed at bridging the gap between theory and practice in transport. Its subject areas reflect the concerns of policymakers in government, industry, voluntary organisations and the public at large, providing independent, original and rigorous analysis to understand how policy decisions have been taken, monitor their effects, and suggest how they may be improved. The journal treats the transport sector comprehensively, and in the context of other sectors including energy, housing, industry and planning. All modes are covered: land, sea and air; road and rail; public and private; motorised and non-motorised; passenger and freight.
