The Influence of Load Size and Distance on Maritime Freight Rates. Volume 4: Transport Management

This paper concentrates on the competition between ports, and more particularly on two aspects which are related to the nautical positions of a port: its draught and its distance. The draught has an effect on the size of the ships entering the ports, and as such also on the cost per transported ton. An inland port requires a longer approach and it can be reasonably assumed that this has an upward effect on the maritime transport costs per ton.
