Likewise, there are some analytical studies that have been devoted to other aspects pertaining to seaports, such as seaport characterization and classification (e.g., [24]), port operations and resilience (e.g., [25][26][27]), port selection (e.g., [28][29][30][31]), and port competitiveness (e.g., [32,33]). In this research we propose a unique set of determinants (i) port facility, (ii) port availability, (iii) port economics (iv) port service, (v) port connectivity, and (vi) port environment that impact the inland port performance.…”
