The State-Of-Play in Maritime Economics and Logistics Research (2017-2023)

Year: 2023
Type: editorial
Abstract: This paper presents and summarizes the applied research on Maritime Economics and Logistics (MEL), carried out by my teams in Europe and Asia in the past five years. Most of this state-of-the-art research has been funded by external organizations, thus showing the interest of society, and of the global maritime fraternity, in our results. The objective of the paper is to bring to the surface pertinent and ‘hot’ research questions, such as e-fuels and emissions trading, some of which we may have answered, others not; but questions that, nonetheless, open research doors to maritime researchers around the world. In so doing, I have stayed away from descriptive research (of limited value in university ecosystems), staying on our more rigorous output, published in top peer-review journals. It is hoped that the paper will be of value to the wider maritime community as well as, more importantly, to PhD researchers, postdocs and tenure-track university staff.
