“…Padang Besar Cargo Terminal (PBCT), which began operating in 1984, was the first Malaysian seaport. This border-based dry port encourages domestic and international container transactions, especially in southern Thailand and the northern region of peninsular Malaysia; it contributes 40% of container traffic to Peneng port and 10% to port Klang (Jeevan et al 2015). The capacity of the container yard at PBCT is around 800 TEUs, and, unfortunately, this dry port has no space for locating empty containers or land for future development.…”

This paper explores the implications of vessel enlargement on seaport competitiveness and investigates the dyadic integration between seaports and dry ports to address drastic vessel size acceleration in the Malaysian seaport system. Therefore, this paper aims to reveal the seaport/dry port dyadic relationship to improve seaport competitiveness in light of the increase in vessel size in the arena of global trade. To achieve this aim, mixed methods were applied by conducting qualitative and quantitative approaches concurrently. The outcome of this paper indicates that vessel enlargement has caused several problems in seaports including reduction in operational efficiency, congestion, limited capacity and infrastructure support, outdated policies for existing seaport development, urgent needs for additional investment in spatial development, as well as requirements for new structure in manpower training. Furthermore, the integration of dry ports in the seaport system to deal with vessel size enlargement is expected to improve seaport accessibility through improved infrastructure and service quality as well as increased capacity and efficiency.

“…This indicates that the existence of dry ports to assist the client in these three respective nations will provide mixed implications to the clients. Unbalanced economic planning on the east cost of peninsular Malaysia and in some areas in the northern and southern regions have caused some dry ports in the Malaysian container seaport system to remain underutilised (FIP 2; Jeevan et al 2015). Therefore, all components in the freight system are required to well integrate through dry ports in order to open a new paradigm for the Malaysian container system to use, utilise and manage these opportunities for current and future development.…”

About 94.8 per cent of Malaysian trade is depending on collective inter/intra-regional maritime networks. Straits of Malacca is an important strait and the only strait that connecting Indian Ocean and South China Sea which contributes to the nation’s economic growth significantly. This strait plays a key character to enable the trade connection between east and west of the globe. In average, about 63,000 different types of vessels passing through the strait per year and the number of the vessels keep accelerating every year. Conversely, the introduction of Thai Canal to detour the trade voyage between Indian Ocean to South China Sea is expecting to reduce about three to four days journey time between these two passages. Although the development of this canal is predicted to provide substantial benefits to shipping lines, the grey area or disadvantages change to implications of this canal need to be explored especially on Malaysian trade and infrastructure. Therefore, a qualitative approach has been employed to achieve the aim of this paper. Face-to-face interviews with experts from various agencies had been conducted to gather information on the impact of Thai Canal on Malaysian trade and infrastructure. The outcome of this paper indicates that the implication of Thai Canal reduces the productivity of Malaysian seaports, transformation of seaports in northern region as a major hub of the nation, enforcing equal regional development between west and east coast Malaysia and administering dramatic progress on multimodalism in each state. The outcome of this research is important as an input for the preparation of Malaysian seaport system due to any significant changes in the trade route. Although, the development of Thai Canal reduce the overdependence on Malacca Straits, the impact of this this new canal will affects the trade performance of this region. Hence, this paper is significant to understand the implications that might occur to this nation due to dynamism of maritime logistics.

“…They have also conducted case studies on numerous dry ports in different parts of the world, including West Europe and North America [3], North Europe [8], India [9][10][11], Malaysia [12], Russia [13], and Ch ina [14]. In China, a growing number of studies on the dry port have been conducted, but most of them are confined to the introduction of the dry po rt and qualitative research of its economic and social benefits [15][16][17][18].…”

Abstract. Dry ports have become a very important part of globalization and a cornerstone in port competitiveness. Based on the analytic hierarchy process, this paper established the dry port index system to evaluate the potential location of dry ports linked to the port system in the Pearl River Delta, in a case study covering 115 cities in the PanPearl River Delta. T he results show that it is optimal to locate 21 dry ports in the research region, and each dry port serves different areas. There are 4 optimal transport corridors for the dry port logistic network, including GuangzhouKunming transport corridor Guangzhou-Chengdu transport corridor, Guangzhou-Changsha transport corridor and Shenzhen-Nanchang transport corridor.
