- Purpose: Construction logistics centres (CLC) are decreasing disturbances to the surrounding society through improved logistics flows and are a novelty within construction supply chains. Therefore, the knowledge of how to budget for the use of a CLC within the logistics flows is lacking among clients and main contractors. Thus, the purpose of this paper is to analyse what costs a CLC entails and to propose a model for calculating these costs.Design/methodology: The cost for a contractor of utilising a CLC has been studied based on the services invoiced to contractors over a time period of three years (2013 – 2016). From this, cost modelling for the most common services provided in CLC’s has been conducted.Findings: The study proposes a cost model for CLC’s and indicates the level of these costs compared to the total project size.Research implications: Through the cost model for determining the cost of CLC’s, this paper contributes to reducing the barriers towards construction logistics solutions by clarifying the costs in relation to possible benefits.Practical implications: Contractors, LSP’s and municipalities can find support on how to calculate the costs of utilising a CLC and also how to develop business models of setting up CLC´s.Originality/value: As the use of CLCs is a new phenomenon in construction, this paper contributes by exploring the important and rarely studied cost aspects of CLCs.

- Purpose: It has been established that dry ports can reduce seaport congestion and improve throughput rates due to movement of containers from road to rail. This study investigates the activities related to implementation of dry ports at three U.S. seaports: Jacksonville, Savannah and Charleston. These activities are then analysed considering diffusion of innovation attributes. Design/methodology/approach: Data for this study was collected through face-to-face interviews at seaports of Jacksonville, Savannah and Charleston. Findings: It has been recognized that there are three components to successful dry ports: (1) on-dock rail, (2) reliable inland connection and (3) a functional inland facility. These three components have a diverse group of stakeholders, many of whom are unknown to one another; however when operating in coordination with one another these components create the dry port concept.
