The work serves as a modern-day review of current developments in logistics and supply chain management, collaborative research in maritime security and offshore logistics, and the emerging collection of the impacts of new legislation in the offshore environment. It also addresses emerging security issues in restricted water zones and pollution mitigation issues affecting several regions, to mention but a few. Accident causation theories in the port complex were reviewed in the course of the work. The study is a compilation of works authored by graduates with a background in maritime logistics. Applied methodologies differ with the divergent views of each researcher, but all perspectives converge in the maritime logistics backdrop from which all the researchers emerge.
