“…The authors discuss the modality of the transport systems and ownership of the dry ports and summarize the lessons learned from each case. Similarly, Jeevan et al [47] analyze the influential factors of dry port operations in Malaysia based on the data obtained from online-survey. Trip and Bontekoning [49] discuss the possibility to organize freight consolidation in Valburg terminal.…”

“…Iannone [41,46] argues that policymakers could improve the port-interport system with more adequate regulations and more effective and intelligent organizational schemes and regional logistics marketing initiatives. Jeevan et al [47] conduct a survey for Malaysian dry port stakeholders to examine the influential factors of Malaysian dry port operations. The results indicate that improving the information system is most important for dry port operations, and modernizing and upgrading current capacity in dry ports should be included as one of the main agenda items.…”

Nowadays, the major ports around the world usually consist of multiple terminals and service centers which are often run by different operators. Meanwhile, inland terminals have been also developed to reduce port congestion and improve transport efficiency. The integrated planning of inter-terminal transport (ITT) between the seaport and inland terminals helps in providing frequent and profitable services, but also could lead to higher overall planning complexity. Moreover, the ITT system usually involves multiple stakeholders with different or even conflicting interests. Although an increasing number of studies have been conducted in recent years, few studies have summarized the research findings and indicated the directions for future research regarding ITT. This paper provides a systemic review of ITT planning: we examine 77 scientific journal papers to identify what kind of objectives should be achieved in ITT system planning, which actors should be involved, and what methodologies can be used to support the decision-making process. Based on the analysis of the existing research, several research gaps can be found. For example, the multi-modality ITT systems are rarely studied; cooperation frameworks are needed in the coordination of different actors and quantitative methodologies should be developed to reflect the different actors’ financial interests.

“…In order to meet the raised traffic flows and provide on-time service, intermodal terminals are required to have appropriate storage capacity and high-tech handling equipment. Jeevan et al [9] mentioned that dry ports should be developed with adequate space so as to allow efficient, reliable and economical movement of containers, in particular when they are developed to support seaport operations. Rodrigue and Notteboom [36] pointed out that since dry port projects became increasingly capital intensive because of increased traffic at seaports, their size, required equipment and infrastructure are under risk.…”

“…However, the frequent changes in the schedules of ships and truck arrival times due to increased traffic volume, customs clearance, and other disruptions, such as breakdowns of equipment and bad weather conditions, contribute to the dynamics. It means that dry ports have been adapting the challenges in operations, such as difficulty in meeting different stakeholder objectives, capacity constraints, limited availability of transportation modes and location at non-strategic areas [9]. This complexity and dynamics call for adaptive and flexible planning in intermodal terminals [10].…”

The continuous increase of trade between China and Europe brought congestion problems at major Chinese seaports. An effective way to solve this issue is to set up intermodal terminals often called dry ports. However, the dynamics of various influenced factors on dry port’s implementation calls for the adaptive and flexible planning of the terminal. This paper analyzes the shortcomings of previous research related to the dry port’s implementation from the perspective of the applied numerous parameters concerning evaluating its operational efficiency and sustainability. The operational efficiency and sustainability of a dry port are evaluated by the developed system of the main parameters. This system gives the understanding of how these parameters are interrelated between each other and fills the gap in studies of inverse interrelations between main parameters of a dry port. To fully understand the sustainability of the main parameters of a dry port, this paper puts forward the simulation models description of the developed system. The developed model is a practical tool to evaluate the reliability of hypotheses about the functional interrelations between the main parameters of the dry port, as well as to evaluate the sustainability of the system. Finally, in order to develop functional interrelations between main parameters, the data from several Chinese dry ports has been collected. Finally, the developed multi-agent system dynamics model has been validated in the case study of Yiwu dry port located in Zhejiang, China.

“…Furthermore, seaports need to collaborate with their inland terminals to improve their flexibility through recuperated inland access. Jeevan et al (2018a) and Roso (2013) have indicated that the implementation of dry ports in the seaport transportation system can have significant implications for seaport competitiveness. Based on these arguments, this paper explores the issues faced by seaports due to vessel enlargement and investigates the role dry ports play in assisting seaports to face these issues.…”

This paper explores the implications of vessel enlargement on seaport competitiveness and investigates the dyadic integration between seaports and dry ports to address drastic vessel size acceleration in the Malaysian seaport system. Therefore, this paper aims to reveal the seaport/dry port dyadic relationship to improve seaport competitiveness in light of the increase in vessel size in the arena of global trade. To achieve this aim, mixed methods were applied by conducting qualitative and quantitative approaches concurrently. The outcome of this paper indicates that vessel enlargement has caused several problems in seaports including reduction in operational efficiency, congestion, limited capacity and infrastructure support, outdated policies for existing seaport development, urgent needs for additional investment in spatial development, as well as requirements for new structure in manpower training. Furthermore, the integration of dry ports in the seaport system to deal with vessel size enlargement is expected to improve seaport accessibility through improved infrastructure and service quality as well as increased capacity and efficiency.
