This paper investigates how the container terminals can reach a high degree of integration in supply chains. The results of our analysis suggest that a container terminal achieves a high degree of integration in supply chains when its investments are driven by integration aim are combined with a high degree of openness to the integration. Reaching a high level of integration for a container terminal is complex because of two main factors. The former is linked to the port governance model. The latter is due to the difficulty in establishing close and cooperative relationships between the terminal and its users.

Abstract
This paper investigates how the container terminals can reach a high degree of integration in supply chains. The results of our analysis suggest that a container terminal achieves a high degree of integration in supply chains when its investments are driven by integration aim are combined with a high degree of openness to the integration. Reaching a high level of integration for a container terminal is complex because of two main factors. The former is linked to the port governance model. The latter is due to the difficulty in establishing close and cooperative relationships between the terminal and its users.
