A comparative analysis of free trade zone policies in Taiwan and Korea based …

The goal of this paper is to discuss the functions of a port hinterland, perform comparative analysis of existing port-type FTZ regulations and systems in Taiwan and Korea based on a port hinterland perspective, and provide recommendations concerning relevant policies and measures to government. This paper’s findings can be summarized as follows: (1) Existing container terminals in Taiwan co…

Port Congestion and Implications to Maritime Logistics

Ports are widely recognised as crucial nodes in international trade and transport. However, for various reasons, capacity does not always match demand: sometimes there is overcapacity, whereas in other cases, demand exceeds capacity and there is a shortage of the latter. This chapter therefore looks at where port congestion occurs, both globally and in the port-calling chain; it analyses actual…

Green port dues — the case of hinterland transport

As the economy becomes increasingly specialised and globalised, the importance of logistics also increases. For global transportation systems, seaports play a key role as transhipment hubs. As seaports incorporate and coordinate hinterland logistic activities within the activities of the port, the strategies they employ influence the decisions made by both local and global logistic service prov…

Impact of scale increase of container ships on the generalised chain cost

In recent years, an increase in the size of the container ships could be observed. The question is how these larger ships will influence the total generalised costs from a port of loading to a destination in the European hinterland. The second question is whether a scale increase of the container ships on other loops, such as a loop from the United States to Europe, has the same impact on the g…

Multi-layered hinterland classification of Indian ports of containerized carg…

In this study, we develop a multi-layered hinterland classification of major Indian ports for containerized shipments using a novel approach that integrates geographic information system visualizations and data mining methods. Strong export-oriented business sectors and growing industrial diversity have been prompting developing economies like India to move towards the containerization of mari…

Policies applied by seaport authorities to create sustainable development in …

Policies for sustainable development of transport rely on three pillars: striving for stable social and economic growth, while reducing the pollution and protecting the natural resources. Seaports play a significant role in economic growth of port cities. In each such a city the port generates even several thousand jobs directly connected with the port operation. Unfortunately, the port activit…

Gateways and intermodalism

With their massive transhipment, major seaports in Europe can generate scale economies to operate intermodal transport cost effective to numerous destinations with high frequency. In that way, the ports seem to be able to stimulate intermodal transport and open new markets beyond their traditional hinterlands. The growing container transport by rail between Rotterdam and Northern Italy illustra…

Port competition and selection in contestable hinterlands; the case of Austria

This paper deals with port competition and port selection for cargo to/from Austria. Austria is located centrally in Europe and seaports in at least five countries are used for imports and exports. Changes of market shares over time of different ports serving Austria are analysed. Switching of cargo between ports does take place, but friction prevents instantaneous switching. Consequently, it t…

A new governance perspective on port–hinterland relationships: the port hin…

We develop a new governance perspective on port–hinterland linkages and related port impacts. Many stakeholders in a port’s hinterland now demand tangible economic benefits from port activities, as a precondition for supporting port expansion and infrastructural investments. We use a governance lens to assess this farsighted contracting challenge. We find that most contemporary economic imp…

Hinterland transport chains : determinant effects on chain choice

A hinterland is the landward side of a seaport, whereas a seaport (dry port) is the sea node (inland node) of a hinterland transport chain, i.e. the hinterland transport network over which cargo moves. A hinterland transport chain is jointly determined by seaports, dry ports, intermodal carriers, importers and exporters. A mathematical model is proposed to model this joint choice. Analysis of t…

Opportunities to improve container barge handling in the port of Rotterdam fr…

This paper presents and evaluates an opportunity to improve the competitiveness of container barge transport in the hinterland of Rotterdam through a reorganization of container barge services. This reorganization improves the handling of barges in the port and consists of splitting existing services into a trunk line operation in the hinterland and collection/distribution operations in the sea…

Placing dryports. port regionalization as a planning challenge e the case of …

This paper emphasizes dryports in the context of port regionalization. It specifically deals with dryports as a challenge for planning, policy and metropolitan governance in the vicinity of seaports. The starting point is the ongoing spatial shift of terminals, distribution centres and port related developments towards the hinterland of mainports and the associated planning conflicts, raising…

Cruise market: stakeholders and the role of ports and tourist hinterlands

The cruise industry has been dynamically advancing over the last decades with an average annual growth rate in the worldwide number of cruise passengers of 7.84 per cent between 1990 and 2013. The Mediterranean Sea is the second cruise destination worldwide. The cruise market is characterized as an oligopoly within the subsector of cruise companies. A similar situation occurs in the Mediterrane…
