Maritime Transport Research

MARTRA provides a forum for high quality research in maritime transportation, logistics and operations. Port and shipping research are particularly welcome. MARTRA is an interdisciplinary journal and embraces work from a wide range of disciplines, including, but not limited to, transportation, logistics, economics, operations research, and geography. MARTRA publishes papers in two categories: • Theory and Methodology: Papers in this category employ mathematical modeling, optimization theory etc. to develop new methodologies, theories and/ or algorithms for maritime transportation. • Empirical Research: Papers in this category can either employ quantitative techniques from statistics, AI, machine learning etc., or qualitative research methods such as one-on-one interviews, focus groups, case study research etc. to obtain new insights into specific aspects of maritime transportation.
