Abstract:For interaction between dry port and sea port, rail-sea multimodal transport is the main transportation and organization mode. The extended construction of corridors of rail-sea multimodal transport needed to be studied further. It will help to establish unified mechanism of transportation coordination, realize compatible standard transport rules, and promote the development of enterprises of sea and dry ports. Take Ningbo-Zhoushan sea port as an example, the options of multimodal transport corridors from Ningbo-Zhoushan to southwest areas are analyzed and optimized. In this paper, a TOPSIS decision model based on entropy weight is proposed, helping to effectively select the optimal multimodal transport plan. It is concluded that the best transport plan of 20 feet container from Ningbo-Zhoushan to Chengdu and Guiyang is the direct railway transport. The best transport plan of 20 feet container from Ningbo-Zhoushan to Kunming is the goods transported by rail from Ningbo-Zhoushan to Chongqing and then road from Chongqing to Kunming. Finally, it is suggested that promote the extension and radiation of port function and invest in the construction and operation of dry port.

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

“…We notice that dry port location is not sufficiently studied in literature at the present time as we found a few references in this sense (13 papers). The dry ports location problem can be analyzed as a particular case of the hub location problem, which has recently received a great number of attentions in the scientific literature [23]. The hub location problem is focused on locating hub services.…”
