November 20, 2013 at 8:00 amAn obvious move which i have been advocating in the APM Group for many years. Terminals should develop their extended gate concept offering receiving & delivering services to their customers – be it cargo controlling parties or shipping lines. Ocean port land and infrastructure has become way too expensive to expand further while the synergies between an inland controlled yard /gate and the ocean terminal can deliver a leap in operational efficiency benefitting all parties. And yes – there is also some extra revenue to be picked-up at attractive ROI’s. SEASC4U can assist.
