Abstract

In this article, the results of two studies aimed at improving coordination of inland port activities are presented. The first study analyses port development in urban areas, focusing on the case of the port and city of Mannheim. The second study deals with optimising capacity use within a network of ports. The Upper Rhine ports are analysed in terms of market development, capacity needs and the complementarities of the platforms. The study has recently led to a common investment master plan. Both studies draw the conclusion that inland ports are an important factor in the further development of multimodal transport, providing essential services for an intelligent transport system. Needed support and development opportunities can be found by a cooperation approach.
