“…Nevertheless, according to Gouvernal et al [60] and López-Navarro et al [56,61], these companies may be reluctant to use intermodal transport, since their business model is largely organized around road transport for which they have their own transportation networks. Using SSS and MoS entails significant adjustments and changes in the company, which may be a hindrance to the more widespread use of intermodal solutions [61].…”

Today, there is widespread consensus about the notable, yet simultaneously growing, negative environmental impacts generated by the transportation sector. Experts working in a number of different fields consider the current situation to be unsustainable and possible measures to reduce emissions and foster sustainability are being encouraged. The European Commission has highlighted the need to shift away from unimodal road transport toward a greater use of intermodal transport through, for example, motorways of the sea, in light of the evidence that the former makes a significant contribution to increased CO 2 emissions. However, although there is a general perception that sea transport is environmentally preferable to road transport, recent studies are beginning to question this assumption. Moreover, little research has been conducted to quantify environmental aspects and incorporate them into the decision-making processes involved in the modal shift. This study first reviews the existing literature to examine the extent to which environmental aspects are relevant in the modal choice in the case of short sea shipping and motorways of the sea. Related to this, the study also evaluates the role that different agents may play in making decisions about choice of mode, taking into consideration environmental aspects. Secondly, we use the values the European Commission provides to calculate external costs for the Marco Polo freight transport project proposals (call 2013) to estimate the environmental costs for several routes (a total of 72), comparing the use of road haulage with the intermodal option that incorporates the Spanish motorways of the sea. The results of this comparative analysis show that the intermodal option is not always the best choice in environmental terms. Consequently, the traditional environmental argument to justify this alternative must be used carefully.

-The task of producing a generic model of the modal choice decision making process is a challenging one. Modal choice is strongly influenced by the infrastructure limitations and geographical constraints of the area in which the decision is being made. With this in mind, addressing modal choice on an individual basis for each region may be the optimal solution. This is the approach adopted in this paper. The creation of a modal choice model is a multistage process of which this paper addresses the first stage, the production a framework of the decision making process. Firstly, a number of criteria that are commonly used in modal choice models are identified. Then a number of gaps in the criteria utilized in previous papers are established. Subsequently, the method used to produce a framework of the decision making process within North West England's Atlantic Gateway is outlined. Through consultation with transport industry experts in North West England, an initial list of sixty eight papers was reduced to thirty six that were considered to be of specific relevance to modern day freight transportation within their region. The criteria used in each of these papers were then, along with further industry input, used to create the foundation on which a modal choice framework specific to the Atlantic Gateway could be built. A greater understanding of what influences modal choice within this region will allow informed decisions to be made by policy makers on how to more efficiently utilize the available modes of freight transport. Having established this, future work can then go on to build upon these findings. This paper recommends that future work is performed to establish the weights of each criteria and sub-criteria within the framework. This should then be followed by establishing industry's perceptions of the best and worst alternatives for moving freight within the Atlantic Gateway.

“…The short sea shipping market in the EU is largely captive, and the traffic that is in direct competition with road is very limited. The situation in the US is similar: coastal shipping for non-bulk goods is largely absent, apart from containerised shipments to Puerto Rico and Hawaii (Gouvernal et al 2010). The transport chain is disconnected with many unrelated participants: the maritime leg has few connections with the inland legs Marlow, 2002, 2005).…”

“…SSS traffic is seen as a means of helping secondary ports survive. However, there is a vicious circle: because the smaller ports do not have the cargo volumes to fill ships they cannot attract the carriers to provide a regular service; and because they cannot provide a regular service they cannot attract new customers (Gouvernal et al 2010). …”

“…Logistics service providers use short sea shipping services in some of the captive short sea shipping markets, but generally have limited incentives to stimulate short sea shipping as it would mostly compete with their primary interests, considering that they have in many cases truck fleets that compete with short sea shipping. Regular shipping lines, who would be the most likely to be interested in the short sea container market, are not involved in it at the present stage of development, because traffic volumes are insufficient to allow the organisation of end-to-end services with good frequencies (Gouvernal et al 2010). …”
