“…Improving railway infrastructure and establishing dry ports are important elements in a hinterland consolidation-distribution system, and the latter needs to be regulated and supported by policies and special institutions. Mirzabeiki et al (2016) studied the effects of hinterland transportation between seaport and dry port with the inclusion of a collaborative tracking and tracing (CTT) system. The study concluded that CTT positively affects the speed of operations, resource utilization, reliability, safety, and data quality.…”

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.

“…Kapkaeva et al [2021] conducted a case study at the port of Hamburg, Germany (LPI 1st position); informatization as a predecessor allows ports to operate exceptionally through a one-window platform to plan, execute, and monitor logistical activities, for instance, real-time call-in/call-out road and rail actors to pick or release the load. Another study by Mirzabeiki et al [2016] in Sweden (LPI 2nd position) confirmed that when parties in a logistics system share information, it enables data analytics; to track and trace, speeds up operations, shipment timeliness, resource optimization, and accumulation of an authentic set of information. In Colombia (LPI 58th position), Suarez-Moreno et al [2019] proposed an intelligent transport load optimization model leveraging shippers' collaboration that reduces vehicle trips by 50% and accumulates a decrease in logistics costs by 37%.…”

“…In addition, the global LPI statistics (Figure 1) reveal the distress logistics situation in terms of country-wise performance, where 98 out of 160 countries perform below the mean LPI score. Conversely, countries that followed informatization have unlocked data analytics for logistics competence are relishing top positions; for example, Germany [Kapkaeva et al, 2021], Sweden [Mirzabeiki et al, 2016], Indonesia [Kirono et al, (2019]. Despite the proximity of logistics performance in low LPI rank countries, the research context on practices of informatization in the logistics sector is overlooked by scholars.…”

Background: Informatization has enabled global logistics and supply chains (LSC) to capitalize on datadriven analytics to improve logistics performance. At the country level, logistics performance is gauged through the logistics performance index (LPI), where globally 61.25% or 98 countries perform below the mean LPI score. Previous studies focused on logistics informatization in high and moderate LPI rank economies. The paper aims to conduct an exploratory case study in a low LPI performing country to assess the informatization practices of logistics entities and develop a logistics informatization continuum to unlock data analytics for other countries. Methods:The study implements qualitative methods to develop strategic recommendations to reduce global logistics imbalance. We employ a two-layer methodology consisting of thematic analysis and a novel strategic choice approach (SCA) to involve stakeholders for recommendations on obstruction. For thematic analysis, 16 semi-structured interviews were conducted from logistics companies, also onboard 10 trade associations and government representatives for the SCA analysis. Results: We observed many obstructions in informatization; low willingness on informatization, fear of information leakage by humans, low-reciprocity for collaboration, the myth of information and communication technologies (ICT) as an expensive tool, self-interest, and opportunistic behavior. Conclusion: Information-centric and integrated LSC enables data-driven technologies for real-time decision making, vigilance, and data analytics to distinguished the success of a country's logistics performance. Originality: This study explores the informatization conformity in the logistics sector to connect data analytics. We introduced a novel strategic choice approach in the technology domain for problem structuring. The paper further contributes by suggesting a logistics informatization continuum for low LPI countries to straighten digitalization in the logistics sector.

“…With increasing awareness of the importance and benefits of the intermodal transport increases the research interest for the same. Caris et al [45] have classified intermodal transport research based on the following topics: political support (e.g., [46]), design of the terminal network (e.g., [47]), design of intermodal services (e.g., [48]), intermodal routing (e.g., [49]), operations of container drayage (e.g., [50]), use of innovative information and communication technologies (e.g., [51]). In addition, in the literature one can find the examples of solving the problems concerning transshipment technologies (e.g., [52]), costs analysis (e.g., [53]), transportation units (e.g., [54]), terminal location [11,12,26,55], selection of the efficient terminal types [56], evaluation of the terminal technologies [16], evaluation of the basic characteristics of the different types of intermodal terminal [10,57], evaluation of the logistics performance for freight mode choice at intermodal terminal [58], measuring the terminal performance [59], optimization of the zones for temporary container storage [60], spatial optimization of the terminal subsystems, i.e., layout optimization [61], etc.…”

Growing competition in the global market imposes the need for adequate planning of transportation processes and development of intermodal transport networks, whereby intermodal terminals play a key role. This paper proposes a methodology for prioritization of the intermodal terminal's development features, as the procedure in its planning process, leading to the design of the intermodal terminal in accordance with the needs of various stakeholders and the principles of the sustainable development. As the stakeholders often have conflicting interests and objectives, it is necessary to consider a broad set of requirements and developmental features that enable the fulfillment of the defined requirements. In order to solve the problem this paper proposes a new hybrid multi-criteria decision-making model that combines Delphi, Analytical Network Process (ANP) and Quality Function Deployment (QFD) methods in the fuzzy environment. The applicability of the proposed model is demonstrated by solving an example of planning an intermodal terminal in Belgrade.Sustainability 2019, 11, 4102 2 of 20 gained substantial attention in recent years, in academic research (e.g., [5,6]), as well as in practice. For example, the European Union set the goals to shift 30% of the road freight transport over 300 km to other, more environmental friendly means of transport (such as rail and waterborne), by the year 2030, and more than 50% by 2050 [7]. These goals can be achieved only by more intensive development of the intermodal transport.One of the major subsystems of the intermodal transport is intermodal terminal representing the place of storage and transshipment of intermodal transport units between the different modes of transport [8]. Intermodal terminals play a significant role in achieving socio-economic and environmental sustainability [9], and their development has an impact on improving the competitive advantage in the market [10]. Accordingly, requirements, goals and needs of different stakeholders, such as investors, owners, operators of the terminal, terminal users, authorities and residents, have to be in taken into consideration in the process of intermodal terminal planning. Their demands are often conflicting; therefore, a solution that should fit all actors involved is the goal in the planning process. Thus far, the research in the area of intermodal transport planning focused mainly on finding the optimal location for intermodal terminals (e.g., [11][12][13]) or how to improve operational efficiency of inland intermodal terminals [14][15][16]. However, the research related to solving the intermodal terminal planning problems taking into consideration variety of methods is rather scarce. Papers dealing with terminal planning are mainly focused on the intermodal transport network planning or the selection of terminal location. Therefore, the purpose of this paper is to define a methodology that comprehensively examines the different stakeholders' requirements based on which it defines and prioritizes development features ...
