Benchmarking the Canadian Gateways and Corridors Governance Model
Intermodal Transportation: Emerging Paradoxes Maturity Growth Rationalisation (corridors and sites). Geographical and functional diffusion of containerization. Massive investments. Revolution Evolution Incremental changes. Decreasing returns. New standards, practices and technologies. Increasing returns. Governance Deregulation Consolidation (maritime, rail and trucking). Emergence of large operators. PPP. Supply chain control. Added-value-capture.

The Governance Setting of Gateways and Corridors: Many Actors Supporting Functional Integration Maritime Freight Distribution Transport Actors Maritime shipping companies (Private). Waterways and navigation channels (Public). Terminal operators (Private). Port operations (Port Authority). Land ownership (Public and Private). Port System Gateways On-dock rail (Port Authority and terminal operators). Near-dock rail (Rail companies). Trucking and barging (Private). Roads and highways (Public). Rail lines (Rail companies; ownership or right-of-way). Road Rail Coastal / Fluvial Corridors and Hubs Hinterland (Inland Ports) Inland Freight Distribution

Value Propositions behind the Interest of Equity Firms in Transport Terminals Sectoral and geographical asset diversification. Mitigate risks linked with a specific regional or national market. Diversification (Risk mitigation value) Asset (Intrinsic value) Source of income (Operational value) Terminals occupy premium locations (waterfront). Globalization made terminal assets more valuable. Traffic growth linked with valuation. Same amount of land generates a higher income. Terminals as fairly liquid assets. Income (rent) linked with the traffic volume. Constant revenue stream with limited, or predictable, seasonality. Traffic growth expectations result in income growth expectations.
