“…A recent academic definition of dry ports contends that "for a fully developed dry port concept the seaport or shipping companies control the rail operations" (Roso et al, 2009;p.341). Furthermore, the authors contend that "dry ports are used much more consciously than inland terminals" (ibid).…”

“…Significant research in the field of inland facilities was contributed by Roso [25,32,33] Their papers defined the concept of dry ports and set its current definition. In her papers dry ports have been divided into close, midrange and distant from the very 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

“…It has been studied since the end of last century. Roso [6]; Roso [7]; Roso et al [8] and Woxenius et al [9] have done some significant research on dry port concept, impacts resulting and factors influencing its execution. Bentaleb et al [10] presented the existing researches that aimed to study dry port concept via a systematic review.…”

“…The development of dry ports is consequently a crucial tool to encourage sustainability and efficiency of maritime transport related transport networks. Therefore, the concept of dry port can help to identify less harmful means of transfer for the environment, to relieve seaports cities from congestion, to handle goods in a more efficient manner as in seaports and to facilitate improved logistics solutions for shippers in the hinterland of the seaport in order to satisfy customers [11]. The construction and operation of dry ports have gated great interest from seaport authorities, inland public bodies and market players [12].…”

“…Therefore, the construction of a dry ports network increases the efficiency of multimodal transport. Dry ports are designed to reduce traffic on the roads and move it on railway networks, so they are particularly suggested when terminals are located near urban and suburban areas that are characterized by heavy traffic [11]. There are many factors that need to be considered in dry ports location.…”
