Editor's Notes
In order to remain competitive ports must now integrate themselves into the supply chain, they need to become key elements within value-driven chain systems by adding value and creating a competitive advantage
The selection criteria on which seaports will be chosen are as elements within a supply chain are based on efficiency and reliability as the focus shifts from port performance to supply chain performance, which includes the ability to minimise the incidence of delays to inland transport
80% of all container port trade in Melbourne and Sydney moved by road 1.2 million truck visits a year for Melbourne Port of Melbourne where by 2035 the amount of container traffic is expected increase to 8 million twenty-foot equivalents (TEU) quadrupling from 2008 levels. The worrying factor is that Melbourne’s roads are estimated to be only able to handle approximately 4 million TEU
Super B Double able to carry 4 TEU
Eliminate surplus fuel consumption caused by the stop-start nature of driving in heavy traffic Less visibility
