Maritime Ports, Supply Chains and Logistics Corridors
his book examines the interrelationships between maritime ports, supply chains, and logistics corridors in the context of global trade and transportation. It explores how inland transport corridors connect seaports with major metropolitan areas and industrial regions, facilitating the movement of goods through road, rail, and other transportation networks. The book analyzes the factors influencing the efficiency and competitiveness of international supply chains, including transportation costs, service reliability, logistics infrastructure, safety, and environmental sustainability. Drawing on theoretical and empirical research, it presents case studies of logistics corridors, particularly the Seine Valley corridor in France, as well as other international examples. Key topics include intermodal transportation, port governance, infrastructure development, geopolitical competition, supply chain management, and the application of digital technologies in port operations. The book also examines how logistics corridors influence the digital, energy, and environmental transitions of maritime ports and supply chains. By integrating perspectives from transportation engineering, geography, economics, and social sciences, it provides insights into improving port performance, strengthening inland connectivity, and developing more efficient and sustainable logistics networks. This book is a valuable reference for researchers, policymakers, transportation planners, and professionals in maritime logistics, supply chain management, and international transportation.
