Port and Multimodal Freight Centres Development and Operational Issues: The Case of a Greek Port

This paper describes the methodology for developing a multimodal freight center at ports, within the port area or in two separate locations – one at the port and the other in the hinterland, by developing a “dual-pole” system. It also presents the application for a Greek Port, The critical issues to be considered are: forecasting of the potential flows, estimation of the required surface area and identification and evaluation of locations outside the port, in the case the forecasted flows required freight village area greater than the available capacity within the port.
