“…There have been numerous examples of new port developments under-performing because of a lack of investment in supporting transport infrastructure. This is hardly surprising as good hinterland connectivity is one of the key criteria than shipping lines, shippers and logistics service providers take into accounting in deciding on their choice of port (Wiegmans et al, 2008). This connectivity can be measured in several ways, by the:  density of inland transport networks  accessibility to key industrial and logistical centres -measured by transit time and transport costs  range of modal options available to carriers  capacity of the main corridors  reliability of deliveries across the hinterland These aspects of connectivity are clearly inter-related.…”

“…Along with cost and service-related factors, shippers' location, marketing strategies of shipping line (new entry, penetration etc. ), and arrangements between carrier and port operator [31] are found as the other factors affecting carriers' decision. However, these studies also show that a shipping line's selection factors directly concern with shippers and freight forwarders' decisions likewise.…”

“…These include: (1) the optimisation of investments in container port development (Koh, 2001;Baird, 2006;Chou, 2007;Allahviranloo and Afandizadeh, 2008;Wiegmans et al, 2008); (2) the (technical) efficiency of container ports and liner vessels (Clark et al, 2004;Cullinane et al, 2006;Notteboom, 2007a); and (3) strategic developments in port systems (Notteboom, 1997;Van Klink and van den Berg, 1998;Wang and Slack, 2000;Song, 2002;Yap and Lam, 2006). From these, the criteria and indicators that influence deep-sea container port choice can be derived (see Table 1).…”

Critical mass for the development of a new container port in Vlissingen

Policy PerspectivesOften, MEL includes a special section under the heading 'Policy Perspectives'. Papers here, often solicited ones, emphasise strategic policy implications rather than scientific rigour in a strict sense. Papers in Policy Perspectives are refereed by a lighter process that often results in speedier publication. Papers submitted to MEL are submitted for both sections at the discretion of the Editors. Authors not wishing to have their papers considered for Policy Perspectives should state this in the Cover Letter.Critical mass for the development of a new container port in Vlissingen A b s t r a c t The economic importance of accommodating container transport and the increasing demand for container-handling capacity are major triggers for conventional ports to develop container terminals. The port of Vlissingen, located between Rotterdam and Antwerp, is aspiring to gain a position in deep-sea container handling. A relevant factor that greatly determines the potential of the port of Vlissingen is the critical mass of the container terminal handling operations to be developed by the port authority. In developing a full deep-sea terminal there is consensus about a critical mass of approximately one million TEU with possibilities to extend to at least two million TEU. In its role as a satellite port for Antwerp, a critical mass of 350 000 TEU could be sufficient. In attracting sufficiently large container flows to Vlissingen, the competitive strength of the port plays an important role. Our contribution in this article lies in the analysis of the optimal size of container port development. The competitive position of the proposed container port of Vlissingen is analysed by using economic research and forecasting methods, backcasting analysis, and analysis of the competitive position vis-a-vis Antwerp and Rotterdam.
