In the last decades, the growth of the containerised freight demand has led to a fast development of seaport container terminals. As an evidence of the relevance and of the interest that such intermodal terminals have reached, consider the significant amount of existing scientific works facing the problem of optimising their performances at operative, tactic, and strategic levels. In this fra…
This study examines port and container terminal characteristics, and assesses how they affect performance. Little research has addressed the relationship between location, physical infrastructure (hard) and service (soft) characteristics, and container terminal performance. The present study fills this research gap. Performance is explained using a holistic perspective involving multivariate fa…
