ABSTRACT: Ports play a critical role in the global economy,
acting as vital links within international transportation networks.
Their efficiency and effectiveness directly impact the performance
of global supply chains. This paper examines the intersection of
port logistics and supply chain management (SCM) through an
empirical lens. We review existing research to explore how SCM
principles can be applied to enhance port operations and overall
supply chain performance. The paper begins by outlining the
evolving role of ports in today's globalized trade environment. It
then delves into the core concepts of SCM and their relevance to
port management. The subsequent sections review empirical
studies that investigate the impact of SCM practices on port
performance metrics such as cost, efficiency, and service quality
