Port regionalization: towards a new phase in port development

Logistics integration and network orientation in the port and maritime industry have redefined the functional role of ports in value chains and have generated new patterns of freight distribution and new approaches to port hierarchy. Existing models on the spatial and functional evolution of ports and port systems only partially fit into the new freight distribution paradigm. This paper aims to add to existing literature by introducing a port regionalization phase in port and port system development. It is demonstrated that the regionalization phase and associated hinterland concepts demand new approaches to port governance and a functional focus that goes beyond the traditional port perimeter.

The drivers of port competitiveness: a critical review (2017, background): “First, the emergence of the “port regionalisation” paradigm (Notteboom & Rodrigue, 2005) marks a new stage in port development characterised by the combination of wider and more discontinuous hinterlands with intense inland inter-port competition.”

The future of containerization: perspectives from maritime and inland freight distribution (2009, background): “One is port regionalization ( Notteboom and Rodrigue, 2005 ), which implies a more efficient maritime / land interface, particularly with the usage of inland freight terminals with direct connections to the port through rail or barge services.”

Cost, carbon emissions and modal shift in intermodal network design decisions (2015, background): “Moreover, the share of hinterland costs in the total transportation costs of a container shipping typically range from 40% to 80% (Notteboom and Rodrigue, 2005).”
