Stakeholder mapping and disruption scenarios with application to resilience of a container port.

Highlights • Port infrastructure and port operations are highly impacted by disruptive scenarios. • Examining the joint influences of scenarios and stakeholders to priorities. • The most disruptive scenario to the stakeholders is the traffic congestion. • The least disruptive scenario is the high operation cost. • The most robust and highly prioritized initiative is constructing the CIMT terminal. Abstract Port infrastructure and port operations are highly impacted by disruptive scenarios that stem from several different types of causes, including adverse weather events, economic crises, traffic congestion, and spikes in demand, among others. Port intermodal transportation systems are characterized by high complexity and uncertainty since they serve and impact multiple groups of stakeholders, including exporters, importers, operators, organizations, port workers, port authorities, residents, and others. The influences of the disruptive scenarios combined with the influences of possible conflicting interests among groups of stakeholders make significant impacts to port operations and planning programs. The innovation of this study is that it integrates two existing approaches to resilience analytics addressing the influences of scenarios and stakeholders to priorities: a stakeholder classification approach called stakeholder mapping , and an approach known as scenario-based preferences modeling. The framework that is developed in this paper finds the joint influences of disruptive scenarios and groups of stakeholders to disrupt the importance ranking of initiatives. The results emphasize that the most disruptive scenario to the multiple groups of stakeholders is s 1 , Traffic Congestion , the least disruptive scenario is s 3 , High Operation Cost , and the most robust and highly prioritized initiative is x 18 , Constructing the CIMT marine terminal.
