“…The selection of the four models is based on the characteristics of dry ports in developing countries, the PPP classifications as presented in European Commission (2003), The World Bank (2015), Shukla et al (2014) and Yescombe (2011), experience with PPP in seaports and airports (Aerts et al, 2014;Farrell, 2011;Farrell and Vanelslander, 2015;Turpin, 2013), case studies of PPP in dry ports such as Thailand (APEC, 2015), Republic of Korea (Hanaoka and Regmi, 2011) and India (Haralambides and Gujar, 2011) and interviews with experts in dry port PPP conducted in Belgium and Vietnam in early 2016. The differences between the PPP models are mainly found at the level of the involvement of the private sector in investment and ownership.…”

This paper aims at building a conceptual framework to support decision makers in selecting the best public-private partnership (PPP) model for dry port development. We focus on a classification of four PPP categories: contracting out, inland terminal concession, field concession and privatised ownership. The framework is based on a multi-criteria analysis with benefit-risk approach. Using multi-stakeholder theory, we break down the benefit hierarchy in benefits to public and community actors, benefits to private investors and financiers and benefits to dry port users. We also present a typology on the risk management ability of each model at the macro, meso and micro levels. The proposed framework is applied to the Vinh Phuc ICD project in Vietnam. In the case study, the four PPP models are assessed on their suitability and risk profile to find the preferred PPP model. The robustness of the outcomes is further tested using a sensitivity analysis.

“…Wilmsmeier, Monios, and Lambert (2011) add to this that port authorities have a role in this and need to be active in extending or maintaining their hinterland. The more dominant role of the ports in the hinterland is also in evidence offered by Haralambides and Gujar (2011), who argue that the overall supply chain can benefit from an extension of the sea-terminal connection into the hinterland. This extension has multiple positive effects, e.g.…”

In the context of increased scale of carriers and vessel sizes, stakeholder opposition to port expansion, and heavy regulation, ports prepare their strategic response. A port's competitive strength strongly depends on its capability of developing or retaining competitive advantages. Ports consider options such as strategic partnerships, or any form of collaboration, which could help them to create more or alternative combinations of unique resources as sources of competitive advantage. Taking an extended resource base perspective, the competitive advantages of the Antwerp port cluster are analyzed, using both linear regression and factor analysis, for its integrated hinterland network area, on data of 59 port experts. The results of our analysis show that the port's hinterland extension did not (yet) result in new sources of competitive advantages. This leads us to the reflection that we cannot assume integrated port clusters always lead to projected positive strategic outcomes.

“…However, in emerging countries, like that of Russia (Panova, 2011;Panova & Korovyakovsky, 2013) and India (Haralambides & Gujar, 2011) railways do play an important role in the transportation chains and intermodal solutions are demanded due to precision, capacity and predictability. In addition, costs are an important issue, but they are seldom significantly below road transport costs.…”
