“…Rodrigue et al (2010) draw useful distinctions between the functions of different sites, classifying them as satellite terminals, transmodal centres and load centres. This functional approach is similar to the close, mid-range and distant dry port model presented by Roso et al (2009) and the later sea port-based, city-based and border-based model proposed by Beresford et al (2011). This kind of functional approach, based on the usage of each node, has more utility than overall terms such as "dry port" or "inland port".…”

“…Various types of inland intermodal terminals that fit into the concept of dry ports have been developed and studied around the world, e.g. in China (Beresford et al, 2012), Japan (Yoshizawa, 2012), India (Ng and Gujar, 2009), the United States (Rodrigue et al, 2010;Roso et al, 2015), Asia (Hanaoka and Regmi, 2011), Russia (Korovyakovsky and Panova, 2011), New Zealand (Roso 2008 and, and Europe (Flämig and Hesse, 2011;Henttu and Hilmola, 2011;Monios, 2011;Bask et al, 2014).…”

The basic idea behind the concept of a dry port is a more efficient seaport access, movement of the seaport’s interface inland with the shift of flows from road to rail. The application of the concept results in a reduction of road transport to/from the seaport together with the associated broad social and environmental benefits. This paper examines the complex factors influencing the timeframes and location of close inland intermodal terminals with dry port characteristics - metropolitan intermodal terminals, as they are usually referred to - and their implementation, with a case study of the Sydney metropolitan region and Port Botany, Australia. The issues surrounding suburban freight terminals are a sub-set of the wider social and environmental problems of the interactions of seaports with their hinterland. Port Botany and its close inland intermodal terminals are very distinctive: there are very few ports in the world with such a well-developed network of close inland intermodal terminals. Nevertheless, the Moorebank terminal was first mooted in 2003 but the latest plans anticipate operations commencing in 2018. The paper illustrates some problematic aspects of long timeframes for the development of significant freight infrastructure.

“…Beresford et al [24] defined the need to improve the transport chain between ports and their hinterland, and this is confirmed by the fact that 60% of the total transport costs are related to the container distribution from seaports and toward ports. This paper defines the methods for allocation of dry ports, and their function and position in the transport network, as well as a future development plan, based on the influence of government and regional policies.…”

INTRODUCTIONSignificant increase in the world container trade over the past two decades has resulted in an increased capacity of container ships [1] and the capacity together with throughput of ports container terminals. This encourages the development of ports, primarily port equipment, technology, information and communication systems. The requirements for capacity expansion, investments in infrastructure and transport entities, reducing the negative environmental impact, and customer requirements for faster, more efficient and cheaper transportation of goods has become a product for new transport solutions development [3,4,5].Similarly, ports are faced with changes in their operations. Shippers require fast and efficient handling and reduction of container ships detention. This implies expansion of port capacity and implementation of new equipment, and high-quality connections to the hinterland. Additional requirements for fast and high-quality shipping to customers represents a major financial, organizational and operational requirement to which not all the world ports can respond.Changes in the present transport chain lead to the development of inland terminals. Inland terminals disburden port capacity on the one hand and on the other hand they become a competitive advantage for the less developed ports. This allows them better connections with the hinterland, directly attracting additional cargo. Inland terminals become an additional link in the present transport chain, while the use of intermodal transport technology enables acceleration of transport processes reducing the total transport costs. In the present transport chain, there have been changes in the mode of shipment from the manufacturer to the port and from the port to the end users (Figure 1). TOMISLAV ROŽIĆ, Ph.D. 1
