Head
DG for Dangerous Goods and Combined Transport
Bangkok, 14-15 November 2017
THE CONCEPT OF DRY PORTS
Rising container flows, Crowded terminals at sea-port areas,
Prolonged dwell times for containers, Neccessity to expand,
Expansion is too costly due to prices for land
UNECE Definition: a Dry Port is simply « an inland terminal which is directly linked
to a maritime port.»
The objectives of dry ports are to enhance the maritime business…
Another definition that captures the essence of the concept of Dry ports;
« An inland intermodal terminal directly connected to seaport with high capacity
transport mean, where customers can leave/pick up their standardised units
as if directly to a seaport.»
It is a maritime-centric issue!!!
THE EVOLUTION OF DRY PORTS CONCEPT IN TURKEY
A platform further promote rail-based freight operations (rail-centric)
The idea is to increase the share of rail transport services dedicated
to seaports

which 10 million tons were hauled in containers.
2023 Targets: 76 million ton cargo to be transported by rail.
LOGISTICS CENTERS/INTERMODAL FREIGHT TERMINALS
21 logistics centers with rail connections enabling freight shift from road to rail.
8 out of 21 are functioning for the time being.
Additionally 34 million ton capacity and 10 million m2 stocking and handling
area for container transport
