The Terminalization of Supply Chains • North America: The Corridor Effect • Europe: The Gateway Effect • Comparative Logistics: Terminalization and the Move Inland
A. North America • Gateways and Corridors • The Rail Transportation Question
Main North American Trade Corridors and Metropolitan Freight Centers
Alameda Corridor CBD UP & BNSF Railyards UP & BNSF Railyards Thruport Mid-CorridorTrench (10 miles) Port of Los Angeles Port of Long Beach Port of Long Beach Port of Los Angeles Port Cluster
The Extended Gateway of the Ports of Los Angeles / Long Beach Intra-terminal Non-local destination On-dock rail yards 16% Alameda Corridor Near-dock rail yards Non-local destination 13% Marine Terminal Rail Non-local destination Off-dock rail yards 13% Non-local destination Off-dock rail yards Transload facility 22% Warehouse Transload facility Local destination 34% Warehouse Non-local destination 2% Truck

Average Dwell Times at Major European Container Terminals (in days)
Case studies Europe – Rhine-Scheldt Delta Container transferium Extended gate (satellite) Initiated by POR TCT Venlo Extended gate (rail-based) for ECT/HPH
Examples of cases • JVC Belgium + TCT Belgium: extended DC for JVC, extended gate for ECT • Four day rule • Free time Rotterdam = 5 days • Free time TCT Belgium = 21 days • Full containers at TCT = part of stock to JVC Belgium

C. Comparative Logistics: Inland Terminals and the Move Inland • What are the main differences and similarities? • Differences: • Modes (Truck/Rail vs. Truck/Barge). • Ownership (Private vs. Public/Private). • Similarities: • Function (import based). • Is there a distinct North American (or European) terminalization? • Due to externalities (congestion, environment) Europe shows a more advanced terminalization. • Dwell time pressures indicate a more constraining terminalization in North America.
