Freight Frameworks: From Global to Local Production Global Gateways Regional Distribution Corridors Local Consumption Terminals Commodity Chains Transportation Integrated Transport Systems
Insertion in the Global Trade Framework Imbalanced Trade Imbalanced Container Flows Commodity Chains UPS Willow Springs Distribution Center, Chicago
Containerized Cargo Flows along Major Trade Routes, 2005 11.7 Imports (Million TEUs) Europe Exports (Million TEUs) 8.9 Million TEUs Growth (2000-2005) 9.9 (+120%) 1.8 (-18%) 5.6 (+55%) 3.3 (+14%) 17.2 9.9 13.9 (+148%) Asia USA 4.3 (+30%) 23.8 6.1
