This paper analyses the impacts of ever-larger ships on location choices for new container ports and examines when relocation of a port makes sense. Most ports are located close to cities, but have difficulties expanding. A number of new container ports have been built further away from urban...

Port container trucking is currently one of the most challenging aspects of the love-hate relationship between ports and cities. This paper highlights important examples of emerging good practices at and around the marine port terminal. Hinterland connectivity and landside productivity are...

Can the container port of Buenos Aires be adapted to the demands of the mega-ship era? Ever-larger ships and the cargo peaks they cause imply new requirements for container ports. This paper examines strategies for Argentina's largest port, whose three container terminal concessions will expire...

This paper offers new insights into the definition, measurement and operationalisation of different dimensions of social vulnerability to road user charges, using unique data sets available in the UK. Assessing distributional effects of road pricing or congestion charging schemes requires...

This paper summarises the state of research on the long-term effects of congestion charging in Stockholm and Gothenberg. Sweden's two largest cities introduced time-of-day dependent, cordon-based congestion charging systems in 2006 and 2013. Public support for congestion charging initially...

This paper examines the optimal level of public transport pricing in metropolitan areas, using Stockholm and Paris as case studies. It shows that overall welfare improves if public transport prices are increased during peak hours to balance demand and fund additional services in the peak. This...

This paper describes approaches in intermodal supply chain management that aim to balance efficiency with sustainability requirements set by firms' corporate social responsibility commitments and society more generally. It explores how accreditation systems can help support green logistics...

This paper investigates innovations in multimodal supply chains. It covers innovations in technology and IT, physical hardware and how supply chains are organised. It outlines direct and indirect impacts of these innovations, showing the ramifications for multimodality, the broader logistics...

This paper examines the sources of supply chain risk and suggests ways in which higher levels of resilience can be achieved. Recent years have seen a significant increase in the risk of supply chain disruption and the need for resilience across the supply/demand network has become imperative....
