Dryports explored

What are the environmental, efficiency and economic benefits, and what are the challenges to setting up and using a dryport as a link in the supply chain?

This was the subject on the table for Dryport 2010. Hosted and organised by Dryport’s Scottish partners, SEStran and the Transport Research Institute, the event brought together an interesting number of diverse insights. Talks included Indian pricing policies, Barcelona’s hinterland strategies, freight regionalisation in the US, dryports at national borders in Southeast Asia and what it takes to build a national hub with rail shuttle links in northern Europe.
