“…This includes 'bottom-up' integrations such as the cross-border merger of Copenhagen and Malmö ports (De Langen and Nijdam 2009), the founding of the new North Sea Port (Belgium/the Netherlands, or the corridor-based gradual integration process of the ports of Le Havre, Rouen and Paris into Haropa (Deiss 2012); a development which is expected to result in a formal merger between the port authorities in January 2021. Other port authority integration processes have been more top-down, such as in the case of the creation of the Italian port system authorities (Ferretti et al 2018) and the integration of Chinese port groups at provincial level (Notteboom and Yang 2017;Huo et al 2018).…”

“…In many cases, however, the evolutionary trajectory of port governance occurred in different and distinct phases covering several decades; for example the decentralisation of port management in China, from the central to the local level, unfolded gradually in three phases between 1979 and 2004, each supported by new regulatory frameworks (Cullinane and Wang 2006). In recent years, the Chinese port system has been undergoing a certain degree of recentralisation supported by large-scale port co-ordination and integration schemes at provincial level (Notteboom and Yang 2017;Huo et al 2018). The new Chinese orientation on port governance is two-pronged: on the one hand, no efforts are spared in creating national champions (e.g.…”

“…Inclusively, port cooperation facilities always exaggerate the trade links to enhance the port's hinterland region and increase the port's throughput (Huo et al, 2018). Bhattacharya et al (2014) found that rail and river transport services are largely unutilized, or highly disorganized, but have potential to operate intermodal services and assist seaports to reduce the load of container stacking at port yards, which could lead to congestion.…”

Among the seaports in the Bay of Bengal, Chittagong port is in a lucrative position to cover the maximum spatial transportation in Asia. Probably, China-proposed Maritime Silk Road (MSR) under the banner of Belt and Road Initiative (BRI) had overlooked Chittagong port as maritime load centre in the South Asian region due to geopolitical issue. A recent performance of Chittagong port in terms of container throughput and considering the hinterland potentiality by MSR, Chittagong port is visualized load centre or connector in the region attractively. The intermodal freight transportation system brought the new dimension in the port regionalization. Driven in particular, Chittagong port’s geographical position and performance are two important indicators in serving through the intermodal system to the region timely and economically. The main objective of port development in Bangladesh is to act as maritime load centre of MSR and offer port services not only for Bangladesh but also to provide maritime transport facilities as well as seaport access to the landlocked countries Nepal and Bhutan, naturally locked part of India, southwest part of China and neighbouring country Myanmar for regional development. In addition to the literature review, this research used a qualitative research method with the combination of primary and secondary data collected from the field. Moreover, one network model is designed on how Chittagong port will provide the hinterland services to the region and implement the dictum of MSR and BRI. Overall, this paper aims to investigate the potentiality of Chittagong port to serve as a regional maritime load centre of MSR for developing an integrated intermodal freight transportation system in Asia.

“…A minimal amount of effort from the government by removing non-tariff barriers has resulted in an increase in participation by small players within the industry, which has increased international trading activities (Idris & Idris, 2017). Such minimal amount of effort from the government has initiated huge improvement in cooperation between local and international players, which enhances the efficiency of the Sabah port industry (Huo, Zhang, & Chen, 2018;Merkel, 2017).…”

Digital transformation has led to a new era of port development at an unprecedented pace. China represents a large percentage of total global trades, navigating the maritime silk-road to various global and regional ports. In Malaysia, the lack of concrete justifications for the issue of transhipment port strategy leads to a debatable framework. Hence, the aim of the paper is to critically discuss the strategy to build a transhipment port as a catalyst to achieving critical mass for economic growth in Sabah. The study draws heavily on existing literature on the theoretical evidence and the possible factors that shape strategy to build transshipment port in Sabah. Based on reviewed literature, various resultant strategies adopted to stand for their interest are discussed. In this way, this paper provides not only theoretical insights, but also strategically guides managers of organisations in Sabah, government, and businesses values towards building a transshipment port in Sabah to effectively retire cabotage policy to reduce cost, enhance port throughput, develop hinterland for critical mass, enhance ports-economic clusters connectivity, eliminate capacity bottleneck, unlock natural resources export potential, align port service towards regional port users’ needs and to give regional port powers a run for their money.
