“…In seaport cities and regions, road congestion and associated costs of road accidents decrease. However, dry ports need to be integrated into seaport hinterland transportation systems, and transportation solutions should be favorable for stakeholders and supported by policies and regulations (Regmi and Hanaoka 2012). Castagnetti (2012) discusses efforts to address environmental issues within the framework of European projects promoting the utilization of faster and heavier freight trains for hinterland distribution.…”

The concept of dry ports has gained significant interest among practitioners and researchers in the last decade. Consequently, publications on this topic have followed this development, and today there are more than 100 papers available in the Scopus and Science Direct databases, compared with only two papers in 2007. The purpose of this paper is to summarize current scientific knowledge on the phenomenon and to identify research outcomes, trends, and future research implications by conducting a systematic literature review (SLR). SLR is an explicit and reproducible method that ensures the reliability and traceability of the results. The selection of relevant papers was performed independently by each author using Rayyan QCRI software; the coding and analysis were conducted with the help of NVivo qualitative data analysis software. Findings show that the research area is largely represented by qualitative cases and optimization studies covering various aspects of dry ports. Dry port examples around the world differ based on location, functions, services, ownership, and maturity level. Although the research area is young and discrete, five main thematic areas are identified: debate on the concept, environmental impact, economic impact, performance impact, and dry ports from a network perspective. Keywords Dry port • Intermodal transportation • Hinterland • Seaport inland access • Systematic literature review We would like to take this opportunity to acknowledge the time and effort devoted by the MEL reviewers to improving the quality of this work. This research was funded in part by the Interreg Valu2Sea project.

“…However, there are not many studies that analyse the status of intermodal transport corridors as well as assess their performance. Regmi and Hanaoka [3] evaluate infrastructure and operational status of two important intermodal transport corridors linking North-East and Central Asia namely: Korea-China-Central Asia; and Korea-China-Mongolia-Russian Federation. The corridors use maritime, road and rail modes for the transportation of goods.…”

The fact that Russian Federation is situated between Western Europe and the rapidly developing countries of Southeast Asia determines the relevance of the international transport corridors development in order to create an international connection between the mentioned countries. The transit potential of Russia should be considered not only as a part of the business contributing to the growth of the Gross Domestic Product, but also as an incentive to develop various branches of industry, which results in a need for highly qualified professionals. Under the modern circular economy conditions, green logistics and a digitalization development, these processes are accompanied by increased requirements for the quality of transport services. It is required to apply new principles in the creation of international transport corridors and their managerial systems. The article discusses the impact of intermodal transportation between Europe and Asia on territorial development, as well as the main trends in implementation of such projects as Marine arterial roads, One Belt One Way and others. The intensive use of modernized powerful transport corridors can be a stimulus for the development of the territories through which they pass. Authors consider positive impact of international transport corridors on supply chains development. Simulation models have been built to examine possibilities to increase efficiency of logistic systems by means of modern technological and technical solutions.

“…Literature suggests modal shift from road to intermodal transport or other environmental friendly modes, such as railway or waterways, as a way to reduce emissions from transportation (Mamede et al, 2017). The development of intermodal transport corridors for freight can contribute to mitigate environmental impacts related to emissions of pollutants (Regmi and Hanaoka, 2012). Concerning this issue, studies have been developed aiming to consider the environmental aspect of intermodal corridors.…”

Goal: To evaluate the potential of strategies to promote green corridors of soybean exports from Brazil to China. Design / Methodology / Approach: The best transportation corridors are evaluated in terms of minimum transportation cost and minimum CO2 emissions in transport. This problem was modelled as a linear programming problem and was solved by GAMS. It involves transporting soybeans from the producing farms in the Brazilian Center-West to the main Brazilian export ports and, subsequently, to China, through the various logistical infrastructures available. Results: In general, strategies aimed to reduce CO2 emissions in the Brazilian soybean exports to China, and also promote the reduction of transport costs, as presented in the results of the different scenarios. Since the greatest impact on both indicators came from the use of Capesize ships, the study suggests that investments in port infrastructure to increase its vessel berthing capacity generate positive impacts, both in terms of lower transportation costs and CO2 emissions. Limitations of the investigation: The producing regions were divided in mesoregions. The road distance considered is between the centroid of the producing region to the destination. Practical implications: Especially in the scenarios of unrestricted transport infrastructure, the study suggests the configuration of optimum soybean flows, as well as the respective level of utilization of multimodal terminals. From the findings of the study, agents involved in the logistics of exporting soy to China can identify the investments in rail and port terminals necessary to a greener logistics. Originality / Value: This work will contribute to the literature in the Green Supply Chain Management field of study, especially in a Brazilian perspective.
