Ports are a critical part of the logistics system along a supply chain, which needs to be responsive to fulfil customers’ demand requirements. Port efficiency is an important factor that affects the intention of users to adopt a port for shipping services. Inefficient port operations incur additional costs for shippers, increase operating costs for transport operators, and reduce the profitability of the port. Hence, there is a need for ports to operate as an “agile port” to cope with the uncertain operating environment. This chapter discusses the characteristics of the agile port. To facilitate the implementation of the concept of agility in ports, we present a ten-step implementation framework. This structured ten-step approach is a useful road map for the port industry to adopt an agile port system.
