Logistics Sector Developments: Planning Models for Enterprises and Logistics Clusters
The study examines policy options relating to the establishment and
further development of inland logistics centres and dry ports with
an international role. It provides the Economic and Social
Commission for Asia and the Pacific (ESCAP) secretariat with a
solid base to engage in further research and analysis in this area,
in order to present countries with policy options in developing
inland logistics centres and dry ports. It examines at the extent
to which the concept of a seaport can be applied inland. The
publication also developed a cluster concept applied to industry,
in particular to the logistics and port industry. It also provides
Governments and industry with an initial step- by-step process to
evaluate the potential of future logistics centres and dry ports.
