Abstract

The intermodal transport sector faces several bottlenecks, which often prevent it from operating as an alternative to unimodal road transport. In this paper, the bottlenecks preventing a further growth of the market share of the inland waterway/road transport are identified in terms of both financial and quality related parameters. The price of intermodal inland waterway transport as compared to road transport is analysed. A critica1 threshold distance is identified for the location of inland terminals. The bottlenecks related to poor intermodal quality are identified through a survey conducted with 45 sectorial experts. ANumber of policy measures that could eliminate these bottlenecks are identified.
