Port Hinterland and Logistics Integration
About this course

Overview

Shippers experience the corridor, not the gate, which is why gate-to-gate metrics flatter a port. This covers road and rail integration and the corridor thinking that connects a port to the hinterland it actually serves.

What you will be able to do

Learning outcomes

  • See the port as part of a wider corridor
  • Improve road and rail integration
  • Identify inland constraints on port flow
  • Coordinate across corridor stakeholders
  • Move beyond gate-to-gate performance measures
What the course sets out to do

Course objectives

  • Map the port-hinterland logistics system
  • Integrate road and rail connections
  • Apply corridor and supply chain thinking
  • Reduce inland bottlenecks and delays
  • Coordinate stakeholders across the corridor
