7. 5. Emergence and significance of dry ports

   University dissertation from Chalmers University of Technology

   Author : Violeta Roso; Chalmers tekniska högskola.; Chalmers University of Technology.; [2006]
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Övrig industriell teknik och ekonomi; Other industrial engineering and economics; intermodal transport; seaport inland access; intermodal terminal; dry port; environment.;

   Abstract : With increasing maritime containerized transport, efficient seaport terminals and inland access are essential for the entire intermodal transportation chain to function. Improvement only in maritime transport and in seaport terminals without improvements in seaport inland access is not sufficient since a growth in the sea flow implies an almost proportional increase in the inland flow.
