Contemporary Transport Terminals Role and Function of Transport Terminals Modal and Temporal Separation at Terminals Terminals and Added Value

Strategies Used by Port Authorities to Coordinate their Hinterland
Supply Chains and their Terminalization The Concept of Terminalization Export Flows to the Gateways The Maritime Segment Import Flows to the Hinterland
Unraveling the Terminalization Concept • Terminalization • Growing influence of transport terminals in the setting and operation of supply chains in terms of location, capacity and reliability.
Terminalization in a Supply Chain Context Foreland (First Mile) Suppliers Bottleneck Gateway Buffer Distribution center (outbound / inbound) Inland containerized goods flow Inland non-containerized goods flow Offshore Hub Maritime container flow Gateway Port regionalization and the creation of a Regional Load Center Network Inland Terminal Extended Gate Extended Distribution Center Customers Hinterland (Last Mile)
Supply Chain Terminalization: Export Flows to the Gateway • Bottleneck-derived terminalization • Containerized cargo: • Logistics zones near the gateway or in a hinterland location connected to the gateway via a multimodal transport corridor. • Distribution: • Tends to be synchronized with terminal handling capacity. Suppliers Gateway Offshore Hub Gateway Inland Terminal Customers
Supply Chain Terminalization: The Maritime Segment • Buffer-derived terminalization • Intermediate facility (offshore hubs): • Transshipment, interlining or relay. • Low cost locations before entering high distribution costs areas. Suppliers Gateway Offshore Hub Gateway Inland Terminal Customers
The Insertion of Intermediate Hub Terminals 15% of Transshipment Traffic 85% of Transshipment Traffic
Gateways and Transshipment Hubs: Different Dynamics Monthly Container Traffic (Jan 2005 =100)
Transshipment Volume and Incidence by Major Ports, 2007-09 Asia – Mediterranean Corridor Caribbean Transshipment Triangle Northern Range East Asia Cluster
Supply Chain Terminalization: Import Flows to the Hinterland • Bottleneck and buffer-derived terminalization • Port regionalization: • Regional load center network. • Extended gate: • Development of inland terminals. • Extended distribution center: • The terminal as a warehousing unit. Suppliers Gateway Offshore Hub 1 Gateway 2 Inland Terminal 3 Customers
Asymmetries between Import and Export-Based Containerized Logistics Customer Distribution Center Inland Terminal Import-Based Gateway • Many Customers • Function of population density. • Geographical spread. • Incites transloading. • High priority (value, timeliness). Repositioning Supplier Export-Based • Few Suppliers • Function of resource density. • Geographical concentration. • Lower priority. • Depends on repositioning opportunities.
