Regional Hubs and Multimodal Logistics Efficiency in the 21st Century

Abstract

The work assessed the connectivity between hub ports and allied transport networks in the move towards realizing sustainable transport system in the global multi-modal transport supply chain.
The total transport chain connecting the sea, rail and road transport chain or the sea/rail/air chain modifies itself with renewed increasing costs, a good number of which includes additional dredging costs for regional hub ports, infrastructural and super structural costs, for modal and intermodal transfers, dry port construction costs, additional rail infrastructural costs among others.
