Maritime Economics, or Maritime Economics and Logistics (MEL), is the holistic and integrated study of ocean transportation (shipping); port and terminal management; and global supply chain management. The concept was introduced in 1999 by Hercules Haralambides of Erasmus University Rotterdam (www.maritimeeconomics.com) who, at the same time, also coined the term maritime logistics focusing, more specifically, on the joint optimisation of container terminals and liner shipping networks. Research in these areas is reported in the scientific journal Maritime Economics and Logistics(http://www.palgrave-journals.com/MEL).
