Background: The operational roles of ports are deeply intertwined with the development of their surrounding hinterlands, indicating that their relationship is mutually dependent and interactive. Moreover, the growth of a port positively influences the development of its hinterland, stimulating...

Container Terminal Port of Boombaru is a Port that serves goods in container’s shape for shipping, and it is located in Palembang, South Sumatra Province. The results of the projections show that the growth rate of Berth occupancy at the Boombaru Port container terminal is very significant,...

Both modern multi- and intermodal supply chains pose a significant challenge to control and maintain while offering numerous optimization potential. Digital Twins have been proposed to improve supply chains. However, as of today, they are only used for certain parts of the entire supply chain....

The competitive position of sea ports depends on their capability to forward incoming cargo from overseas to its final destination. Such capability is associated with the hinterland connectivity of the sea port. Hinterland connectivity of a port is mostly treated as a local indicator, describing...

In a city where individuals endogenously choose their residential location, firms determine their spatial efficiency wage and a geographical red line beyond which they do not recruit workers. This is because workers experiencing longer commuting trips provide lower effort levels than those...

Emphasis on sustainability practices is growing globally in the shipping industry due to regulations on emissions from transportation as well as increasing customer demand for sustainability. This research aims to shed light on the environmental sustainability of companies involved in maritime...

The paper at hand discusses the different typologies of combined transportation in Europe. It shows that an improvement of handling infrastructure for combined transport can positively reduce environmental costs of trading between regions. However, the expected emission reduction effects are...

We investigate the effects of the recently constructed Chinese national highway system on local economic outcomes. On average, roads that improve access to local markets have small or negative effects on prefecture economic activity and population. However, these averages mask a distinct pattern...

Purpose: The purpose of this research is to develop an inter-organizational model of coordination in hinterland chain of hub-and-spoke in global logistics, where dryport works as a spoke and seaport as a hub. Design/methodology/approach: The model built will define a conceptual model in order to...

Die Dissertation beschäftigt sich mit der Entwicklung der taktischen Optimierungsmodelle für globale und regionale Containersteuerung. Die Modelle beinhalten gemeinsame, spezifische Durchschnittsparameter, die den Zusammenhang zwischen den Steuerungsebenen ermöglichen. Die Probleme werden als...
