A variety of different firms, such as shipping lines, terminal operating companies, forwarders, hinterland transport providers and inland terminal operators are involved in hinterland transport. Besides such private companies, different public actors, such as the port authority, customs and infrastructure managers are involved as well. Coordination between all these actors is required to create...

This study aims to display how Carol Shileds’s short story Hinterland subverts the fundamental aspects of the classical definition of literature. Via parody, the story deconstructs the mediums that are peculiar to the concept of literary art. Moreover, Shileds does not only question central truths, but she also renders the reader to open a new perspective by revising the grand narratives of lit...

Hinterland container terminals (HCTs) are important hubs in modern logistic-networks that ensure efficient and frictionless intermodal container turnover. In fact HCTs play an important role in the distribution of containerized goods into the hinterland and are therefore significant for the development of industrial regions. To meet the requirements HCTs have to be designed and coordinated care...

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...

Despite the growing role of barge transportation in the hinterland access of major seaports in Northwestern Europe, service network design for intermodal barge transportation has received little research attention. In this paper, a decision support model for service network design in intermodal barge transportation is presented. The model determines optimal shipping routes for roundtrip service...

Hinterland transportation has become increasingly critical for global container supply chain performance. However, the literature on the management of the container supply chain tends to overlook the issues related to hinterland transportation. The problem we consider here is faced by a deep-sea terminal operator who wants to open an inland terminal to facilitate its operations. When developed ...

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...

"This study investigates the influence of school quality (measured at the high school level) on 1980 to 1990 population and employment change for nonmetropolitan fringe and hinterland census tracts in South Carolina. A Boarnet variation of the Carlino-Mills model is used to examine the interdependence of population and employment change.... Results...indicate that fringe tracts' population gro...

Sandbox experiments with different boundary conditions demonstrate that antiformal stacks result from a forward-breaking thrust sequence. An obstacle blocks forward thrust propagation and transfers the deformation back to the hinterland in a previously formed true duplex. In the hinterland, continued shortening causes faults to merge toward the tectonic transport direction until the older thrus...
