This study discusses the relationship between consignment acceptance of sea freight forwarders and slot allocation from carriers, expecting to verify those factors and put the results in practical use.
Previous studies only focus on how shippers choose carriers, and how carriers’ slot allocation affect shippers’ decisions, but few studies discusses the critical role of sea freight forwarders between shippers and carriers. Namely, we hardly find the studies focusing on how shippers choose forwarders, and how carriers’ slot allocation affects forwarders’ decisions. Hence, this study collects sufficient data from experienced forwarders, using centroid of grey interval and fuzzy cognitive maps, concluding the key factors among forwarders with different operational scale.
This study indicates that (1) the top three factors to forwarders’ acceptance are “shippers’ credibility record”, “dangerous cargo or not”, and “the possibility of cargo damage”. (2) the top three factor to choosing carriers are “professional knowledge of carriers’ sales”, “speed to solve problems and complaints”, and “ocean freight”. (3) when choosing shippers, forwarders with operation volume 500 teus and below focuses on “shippers’ credibility record”; forwarders with 501-1000 teus focuses on “slot sufficiency”; forwarders with 1001-1500 teus focuses on “shippers’ credibility record”; forwarders with 1001 teus and above focuses on “dangerous cargo or not”. (4) when choosing carriers, forwarders with operation volume 500 teus and below focuses on “ocean freight”; forwarders with 501-1000 teus focuses on “reliability of shipping schedule”; forwarders with 1001-1500 teus focuses on “ocean freight”; forwarders with 1001 teus and above focuses on “professional knowledge of carriers’ sales”. (5) the determinants of consignment acceptance and slot resource allocation for sea freight forwarders are “dangerous cargo or not”, and “professional knowledge of carriers’ sales”.
