Integrating Seaports and Trade Corridors

'This book builds on the strengths of previous Ashgate books from the same research network: a diverse and international mix of authors, an interesting and relevant theme and theoretical as well as applied contributions. An interesting read for scholars and students interested in ports as elements of global supply chains.' Peter de Langen, Eindhoven University of Technology, The Netherlands and Port of Rotterdam Authority, The Netherlands 'This book is a most interesting read, albeit heavily focused on geography, as well as predominantly on the Canadian transport situation, the latter heavily orientated toward policy and governance issues. It brings together a number of new and developing themes and perspectives, all of which are of great value to those interested in maritime transport, seaports, integration, intermodality, logistics and of course trade corridors.' Journal of Transport Geography 'Overall, the book brings together the knowledge and the experience of many well-known scholars from worldwide recognised universities who for many years have conducted research on the proposed themes, and as such the book offers a holistic view about the benefits gained and the problems arising when integrating seaports into trade corridors. The book is a major contribution to academia and the industry since it clarifies concepts such as transhipment hubs, extended gateways, which are used on a daily basis and whose meanings are taken for granted. Furthermore, as readers go from one chapter to another, they get a holistic view of the topic under study thus providing a clear understanding how the different elements interact'.
