Impact of the Ripple Effect on the Resilience of Multimodal Container Port Operations: A System Dynamics Simulation Approach.. Current assessments of port resilience primarily focus on the risks affecting its operations, often neglecting the ripple effects across different subsystems within a port. In multimodal container ports, these sub-systems include liner shipping, feeder shipping, railways, and trucking. Moreover, prevailing research predominantly addresses port resilience from a macro perspective without detailing micro-level operational concerns. This article proposes a new integrated methodology that not only considers but also quantifies the ripple effects across different multimo…
