Santos, T.A. (2022), “Greening the logistics of container transportation to port terminals using inland waterways”, Sustainable Development and Innovations in Marine Technologies, Ergin, S. & Guedes Soares C. (Eds.), Taylor & Francis, London, UK, pp. 353-361.
This paper presents a methodology to evaluate modal split and emissions when various transport chains, using road haulage or inland waterways, are available for container transportation between locations in the port hinterland and seaport terminals. Numerical calculations are based on a model of hinterland transport network and consider transport costs of road haulage and inland waterways. A case study dedicated to the evaluation of the potential benefits of intermodal transportation in terms of decreased emissions (GHG and air pollution) is presented. Numerical results cover both modal splits and emissions, for the new intermodal transport scenario. The potential savings in emissions compared with the current situation have been found to be limited to less than 10%. This leads to the conclusion that the distribution of demand for transportation across the hinterland needs to be carefully considered when the potential of intermodality for greening logistics is being studied.
