3、OAbstractThis paper presents a study of the port logistics activities at the port of Santos (Brazil). The study follows a qualitative approach and it is based on in-depth interviews with some key actors from Santos port

4、logistics chain. Based on these interviews, the main dysfunctions and improvement opportunities associated to the container port logistics processes at Santos were identified. The results show that the main dysfunctions

5、are related to the existing information flows. Due to this, a new information flow related to the studied port is proposed and some probable results of the implementation are identified. The findings contribute both to t

7、troductionThe recent development of port studies suggests a growing interest in this field (Pallis, Vitsounis and De Langen, 2010; Pallis et al., 2011; Woo et al., 2012). The scale of research related to ports increased

8、substantially during the 2000s and became a dominant theme in the area of maritime economic studies. A diversification of port research is perceived with several new themes emerging, reflecting the evolution of the port

9、industry and the changing role of ports in supply chains and logistics (Woo et al., 2012).Most of these studies address efficiency issues; however, few present an analysis of logistics flows. To fill this gap, the presen

10、t study aims to analyse the port logistics activities at the Port of Santos, the most important in Brazil and the largest in Latin America regarding container throughput, in order to identify the main dysfunctions and im

11、provement opportunities associated to the port logistics processes of containerised cargo.The study justifies itself by a better understanding of port community and specifically by the identification of the main dysfunct

12、ions and improvement opportunities existing in the port logistic processes of containerised cargo at Santos. The proposed direction to rationalise port processes can reverberate in competitiveness increase of sectors tha

13、t use the port, what reinforces the importance of this study. The work is timely once recent data reveals traffic jam problems, inefficiency and high costs in container operations at Port of Santos. Besides that, the opp

14、ortunity to explore synergies with a viability study of single window implementation in Brazilian ports (Llop et al., 2011), developed by Fundación Valenciaport (Spain) for Brazilian Ministry of Ports (Secretaria de

15、 Portos - SEP) made the study viable. Furthermore, an analysis of recent literature on this subject shows that the number of studies addressing the port logistics activities is still limited. It is important to highlight

16、 that this study differs from previous researches because it provides a and in reverse direction of the previous one, from customers to suppliers; and iii) information flows, that allow to coordinate both previous flows,

17、 as well as the supply chain as a whole. Physical distribution occurs among different chain links, always from suppliers to customers, along with corresponding financial and information flows. When suppliers and customer

18、s are located in different countries, International Physical Distribution (IPD) activities will be executed and part of these activities or flows are directly related with the ports, both departing and arrival, and are c

19、onsidered port logistics flows.The different activities associated to port logistics flows can be grouped into three categories:i) activities associated to vessel berthing; ii) activities related to vessels loading and

20、unloading, including transferring cargo from the quay to container yard (and vice versa); and iii) activities at the container yard, like cargo receiving, handling and delivering. All these activities take place in ports

21、 of loading and discharge, are associated to physical, financial and informational flows and are performed by the different actors of port logistics chain such as exporters, importers, ocean carriers, ship agents, intern

22、ational freight forwarders, non-vessel owner common carriers, customs brokers, container terminals and port authorities. It is also important to highlight the public bodies which act as consenters in export and import op

23、erations and have impact over information and documents flows at the ports. In the Brazilian case, the main ones are: Customs (Receita Federal), National Agency for Sanitary Vigilance (Agência Nacional de Vigilâ

24、;ncia Sanitária - ANVISA), Ministry of Agriculture, Livestock and Supply (Ministério da Agricultura, Pecuária e Abastecimento - MAPA) and Federal Police (Polícia Federal). There are also other actors

25、that act in port operations and have significant influence in physical flows such as stevedores, pilots, tugboats, etc.Brazilian port system is composed by 34 public ports that are under SEP’s control. From these ports,

26、16 are delegated, granted or have the operation authorised to community or municipal governments. The other ports are administrated directly by the ‘Docas Companies’, joint stock companies which have as major shareholder

27、 the Federal Government and are directly bound to SEP. The container and other terminals are operated mainly by private sector since Brazilian Port Law promulgation in 1993. This logic tends to deepen with the new Brazil

28、ian Port Law of 2013, which aims to increase private participation in the sector.The recognition of the major logistics flows in exports and in imports and the relationship between the main actors of the port logistics c

29、hain is crucial for the analysis and subsequent rationalization of port logistics activities. In addition, it is also important to analyse previous studies on the subject, in order to identify the main contributions and

30、the remaining gaps in the literature.To identify previous researches with the same approach of this study, i.e., focused on the analysis of port logistics activities, a search in the Science Direct database was conducted

31、. The terms 'port' and 'logistics process' were searched in titles, abstracts and keywords of articles from 2012 to present. The search process was conducted in March 2015. A total of 21 articles were f

32、ound, but two articles focused on airport logistics process were excluded. The remaining 19 articles were then analysed in order to check its adherence to the subject studied.It was observed that, from the 19 analysed ar

33、ticles, 6 have been partially adherent to the studied subject and only 2 have been considered completely adherent. Since many studies focusing on port activities and port logistics processes are developed by consultants
