Dryports explored
Exactly what are the opportunities and challenges in using a dryport as a link in the supply chain? These are the subjects being broached at a special conference this month.
Dryport 2010 is being organised as part of the European Union Dryport project, and is taking place on 21 and 22 October in Edinburgh. The conference will feature keynote speeches by Lord Tony Berkeley, chairman of the UK Rail Freight Group; Hercules Haralambides of Erasmus University Rotterdam; Bruce Lambert, of the Institute for Trade and Transportation Studies, Virginia, US and José Maria Rubiato, acting head of UNCTAD’s Trade and Logistics branch in Geneva.
