Cascading feeder vessels and the rationalisation of small container ports (2017)
Journal Article
Monios, J. (2017). Cascading feeder vessels and the rationalisation of small container ports. Journal of Transport Geography, 59, 88-99. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jtrangeo.2017.02.001

Small container ports rely on feeder services from hub ports to provide access to unitised trade flows for their hinterlands. They generally possess limited water depth and handling facilities, as investments required to handle larger vessels are not...
