- As the economy becomes increasingly specialised and globalised, the importance of logistics also increases. For global transportation systems, seaports play a key role as transhipment hubs. As seaports incorporate and coordinate hinterland logistic activities within the activities of the port, the strategies they employ influence the decisions made by both local and global logistic service providers. From an environmental and social perspective, seaports are thus key actors in transportation systems, and many ports have also developed corporate social responsibility (CSR) strategies. This paper examines one such strategy – green port dues – and shows how the integration of hinterland logistics and ports opens the possibility for differentiated port dues to be used as a tool to internalise external cost in the transportation systems and ensure the effectiveness of hinterland transport.

- Despite government policy goals to increase the modal share of intermodal transport and the use of various instruments such as operational subsidies, it still faces challenges gaining competitiveness against direct road transport. The biggest challenges for intermodal transport competitiveness are the extra handling costs and pre- and post-haulage costs. This paper investigates the potential for High Capacity Transport (HCT) related to the intermodal transport chain in general and to pre-and post-haulage in particular. Depending on the regulations of specific countries and regions, road hauliers are normally allowed to transport up to one 40ft container and in some circumstances a combination of one 40ft and one 20ft container is allowed (e.g. Sweden and 25.25m as maximum length of trucks). This paper analyses the potential for allowing the haulage of up to two 40 foot containers simultaneously when part of an intermodal transport chain. Data was collected from a demonstration project in Sweden involving the shipper Jula and the forwarder Schenker, where permission was obtained to use longer vehicles (IHCT) on an approved route to and from the nearest intermodal terminal, as part of an intermodal transport chain. Results indicate substantial positive effects associated with allowing longer vehicles for pre- and post-haulage. In sum, a more innovative and flexible legal framework regarding vehicle length in the PPH links can contribute to greater modal shift, improved cost-efficiency and more environmentally friendly transportation systems. These results suggest the potential for applying such a regulation in other countries facing similar difficulties. Key words: intermodal transport; combined transport; high capacity transport; pre- and post-haulage; modal shift; HCT; IHCT.
