“…They found that half of feeder ship roundtrips to the fjord visited multiple ports in this region. Port and maritime clusters have also received much attention in other studies (e.g., Arvis et al 2018;Bouchery et al 2020;De Langen 2002;Hung et al 2010;Zhen et al 2019).…”

Comprehensive studies on the impact of market access on port efficiency are scarce, and the problem that market access indicators are potentially endogenous lacks treatment in maritime economics. This paper offers both theoretical and empirical advances to fill these research gaps. First, it pioneers in the use of Stochastic semi-Nonparametric Envelopment of Z variables Data for measuring port efficiency, and further develops the methodology for panel data and proposes an instrumental variable extension for dealing with endogenous market access indicators. Second, it advances the empirical port literature by developing a unique panel dataset on Norwegian container ports encompassing a comprehensive set of foreland and hinterland connectivity measures. Our comprehensive assessment suggests that the role of market access in determining port efficiency is uncertain.

“…( 11), (12)indicate that any route from one node to another node includes at most two hub nodes and non-hub nodes. (13) indicates that only one mode of transportation is applied on any one of the segments. (15) indicates that only the air transportation method is accessible between any two hub nodes.…”

“…Alyona Lovska [12] proposed a multimodal transportation strategy for maritime transport in combination with train transport and contributed to the efficiency of multimodal transportation through international transport. Port-centric logistics is proposed by Yann Bouchery [13], where distribution facilities and value-added activities are provided in port areas and expanded in multiple ports to promote inland multimodal transportation.…”

“…In this report, we approximate the service area as hexagonal and approximate routing across a Euclidean plane following the A60 metric proposed by Erlenkotter (1989). This seminal work has since been applied by many authors in the area of logistics, such as Bouchery et al (2020). Figure 1 shows the approximation; dotted lines show maximal diameters, and the dashed lines show example travel paths according to the metric.…”

Delivery drones are a disruptive technology that is spurring logistics system change, such as the adoption of urban micro-fulfilment centres (MFCs). In this paper, we develop and implement a two-stage continuum approximation (CA) model of this disruptive system in a geographic information system (GIS). The model includes common CA techniques at a local level to minimise cost, and then these local solutions are used in a second stage regional location-allocation multiple knapsack problem. We then compare the drone MFC system to a traditional delivery-by-truck system and investigate potential cost or emissions savings by adjusting time-window demand, logistical sprawl, electric truck alternatives, and MFC emissions. Furthermore, we conduct a sensitivity analysis to show that uncertainty in demand and effective storage density both significantly influence the number of MFCs selected and benchmark our model against commercial solvers. This methodology may also be further developed and applied to other new delivery vehicle modes.
