The role of UK container trade flow forecasts in the maritime industry
Containerized cargo growth has underpinned recent seaborne container trade. However published techniques for developing forecasts of containerized throughput at seaports, which are often quantitative, are rarely understood or deployed by practitioners. To fill this research gap, this research aimed …
