Enhancing Maritime Supply Chain Resilience to Climate Change in the Greater Bay Area and Southeast Asia Region
摘要
The maritime supply chain has faced unfolded challenges due to the COVID-19 pandemic, climate change, geopolitical conflicts, ever-changing trade routes and freight patterns, and keen competition. In particular, the Greater Bay Area and Southeast Asia region are identified as emerging areas that are located near the coastal area and associated with loose environmental regulations and the rapid growth of industrialization. As such, the maritime supply chain may face vulnerability that induces severe disturbance arising from maritime supply chain risks and adversely impacts the maritime supply chain’s ability to deliver to the end customer market effectively. There is a need for a resilient maritime supply chain in the Greater Bay Area and Southeast Asia region. This chapter aims to conduct a systematic review on maritime supply chain resilience from 1997 to 2023. The systematic review identifies the most influential scholars, countries, and institutions working on this topic. Based on the systematic review findings, we can address the urgency of maritime supply chain resilience. In the meantime, there is an increasing trend of academic scholars who establish interdisciplinary research teams to generate impactful research outputs in response to the complex business environment. Moreover, a series of in-depth, semi-structured interviews are conducted with industrial practitioners, policymakers, logistics associations, researchers, and environmental representatives to investigate the key challenges of the maritime supply chain in the Greater Bay Area and Southeast Asia region, recognize port infrastructure disruptions because of climate change, and point out how to develop resilience-building capacities (i.e., absorptive, recovery, and adaptive).
