North American inland port development: international vs domestic shipper preferences

---

Changes in US transportation policy and changing freight flows influenced by NAFTA have refocused the attention of interior states on their transportation infrastructure. Shippers in the landlocked Midwest of the USA have inquired into the feasibility of inland ports that better facilitate domestic and global commerce by providing shared facilities and services. As such, these inland ports represent one-stop shopping for various transportation and logistics-related services
The present study asked central Iowa shippers about their perceptions of and preferences for a proposed inland port. The respondents were categorized as either “international” (i.e. companies that export and/or import, and those planning to) or “domestic-only” (firms with no international operations nor plans to export or import). The results will assist policy makers and investors to
develop an implementation strategy for an inland port, and to identify potential customers for
specific port features and services
