Port Hinterland Modelling Based on Port Choice
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper presents a new approach for hinterland modelling based on the results of port choice modelling. The paper follows the idea that the shippers’ port choice is a trade-off between various objective and subjective factors. The presented model tackles the problem by applying the AHP method in order to obtain ports’ preference rates based on subjective factors, and combine them with objective factors, which include port operation costs, sailing times, and land transport costs using MILP. The ports’ hinterlands are modelled by finding the optimal port of choice for different locations across Europe and merging the identical results. The model can be used in order to produce captive hinterland of ports and can also be exploited in order to analyse how changes in the traffic infrastructure influence the size of hinterlands.

A new governance perspective on porthinterland relationships: The Port Hinterland Impact (PHI) matrix
Abst rac t 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 econo...
متن کاملLocation Selection of Dry Port based on AP Clustering - The Case of SouthWest China
Due to the increasing freight volumes passing via seaports checkpoints, and increasingly reported delays in customs clearance procedure, dry port, emerged as one kind of solution to such situation, instead of extending the port scale under limited land use. The place located with dry port (sometimes inland port) can solve not only the congestion embarrassment faced by connected seaport, but als...
متن کاملModelling Corridor Networks in Intermodal Barge Transport
In this paper the design of the service network in intermodal barge transport is studied. The network of inland barge terminals is modeled to demonstrate potential cooperations in a corridor network. Cooperation between inland terminals leads to bundling of freight flows in the hinterland of major ports. A service network design methodology for intermodal barge transport is developed and applie...

The paper revisits port capacity providing a more holistic approach via including immediate port connections from the seaside and the hinterland. The methodology provided adopts a systemic approach encapsulating the different port terminals along with the seaside and hinterland connections providing a holistic estimation of port capacity. Capacity is defined with the use of two dimensions; stat...
متن کاملEvaluating the competition dynamics of container ports in the North Adriatic
Port competition is very often analysed and the analysis depends on the criteria that we take into consideration. In the UNCTAD [1] publications, the geographical location, hinterland networks, port tariffs, efficiency of land transport and port information system are selected as the most important criteria. Bichou and Gray [2] concluded that the port competition depends also on institutional a...
