Intermodal freight terminals: a life cycle governance framework. (2016)
Book
Monios, J., & Bergqvist, R. (2016). Intermodal freight terminals: a life cycle governance framework. Ashgate Publishing

Much work has been done on port governance yet little has addressed intermodal terminal governance, despite the clear similarities. This book fills that gap by establishing a governance framework for situating analysis of intermodal terminals through...

Determinants of port centrality in maritime container transportation (2016)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Wang, Y., & Cullinane, K. Determinants of port centrality in maritime container transportation. Presented at International Conference on Global Integration of Economies and Connectivity Development

Competition and complementarity between seaports and hinterlands for locating distribution activities. (2016)
Preprint / Working Paper
Monios, J., Notteboom, T., Wilmsmeier, G., & Rodrigue, J. (2016). Competition and complementarity between seaports and hinterlands for locating distribution activities

A locational duality in port-related distribution activities is emerging. In some regions, distribution activities have moved from ports to inland locations, driven in part by ‘push factors’ such as port congestion and scarcity of land for container...
