CUTTING LOGISTICS COSTS WITH OCEAN CARRIER SELECTION
研究发现，尽管调查显示运输时间差异在承运商选择中常被忽视，但选择运输时间更优的海运承运商可显著降低物流成本，即使陆侧环节存在较大波动。
Two decades of survey research has shown that transit‐time differences among ocean carriers are often secondary considerations in carrier selection. However, this study found that shippers can pay substantial premiums for superior ocean transit‐time service, and cut logistics costs even when substantial variability occurs in landside segments of supply chains.
