An important feature of a functioning port system is
that the processes involved depend on a large
number of parties of different sizes, both public
and private, which must be coordinated
(interenterprise coordination) in order to satisfy the
expectations and requirements of the customers.
By understanding this, it is possible to realize the
fundamental role that each of the stakeholders
have in the logistics chain, not only for the
exporters or importers, but also the role played by
members of the port system (intracompany
coordination) as they are an important factor in the
activities and decisions involved in port processes
