Abstract

Physical Internet (PI) is an innovation, which is introduced to cope with the unsustainable eects of logistics on society, environment and economy. Research to the implications of this innovation on important components/stakeholders in logistics, like maritime ports and Port Authorities (PA) lack. To fill in this gap, this study uses the Bayesian Best Worst Method to analyse dierent policy directions the PA of a landlord ports could apply to make the maritime port attractive in the uncertain future of PI. From this study can be concluded that dependent on how this innovation will develop, dierent policy focus for the PA is recommended. Still, in general the PA should focus on developing and providing information systems and information platforms, and the PA should focus on developing and stimulating the usage of (PI) standards.
