The normal port supply-chain lacks the strategic special technology needed by a cross-supply-chain operation. Ability is not enough in a high-end, value-added service that is unable to meet the needs of the rapid development of advanced ports. This paper will explore the optimization of the port supply-chain through the use of an advanced supply-chain model — Fourth Party Logistics (4PL) — and consider 4PL with an integrator of optimized supply-chain solutions. It has an excellent capacity for integrating resources and experience with supply-chain operation. Compared to other supply-chain optimization solutions, it has the characteristics of integrating and developing a port supply-chain alliance, optimizing a port supply-chain operation process, improving an intelligent port supply-chain, and promoting the greening of a port supply-chain. These characteristics will help us realize customer satisfaction, port operational profit and port ecological benefit.
