Over the past decades, maritime trade experienced significant growth due to globalization and economic development of nations. Maritime transport contributes to the sustainability of the world trade system through its impact on the economic, social, and environmental well-being of nations. Playing a crucial role as trade facilitators, ports and shipping are important parties in the global economic system. Correspondingly to the growth in maritime trade, the port industry encountered tremendous increase in demand with regards to both physical infrastructure investment and cargo handling. Since the birth of con-tainerization, the port industry and cargo handling methods became more standardized and efficient. This development accelerated the expansion of containerized trade.
