  • Port of Zeebrugge Is Located in the World’S Most Densely Populated Consumer Area So Your Importing And/Or Exporting Partner Is Never Far Away
    DEDICATED FOOD PORT THE F OOD SECTOR Infrastructure Food cargo travels in many ways: in containers or RORO freight loads, in bulk or reefer ships. That’s why multiple installations for the reception, handling and storage of perishables are found in the port area. What’s more, the Port of Zeebrugge is located in the world’s most densely populated consumer area so your importing and/or exporting partner is never far away.

That is why we have brought together all the official authorities involved with perishable cargo in our Border Control Post (BCP). In this specialised centre, veterinary clearance, customs and maritime police all work under the same roof to speed up the clearance of your cargo, which is completely segregated from other food cargo to avoid contamination with products. In the Port of Zeebrugge, your container can be dispatched to the market while the vessel is at berth; the food cargo can make its way to your customers or be temporarily stored in our deepfreeze warehouses.

  • Relationships Between Container Terminals and Dry Ports
    Relationships between Maritime Container Terminals and Dry Ports and their impact on Inter-port competition Master Thesis within: Business Administration – ILSCM Thesis credits: 30 Author: Robert Castrillón Dussán. Supervisor: Leif-Magnus Jensen Jönköping May 14, 2012 INTENTIONALLY BLANK i Acknowledgement _________________________________________________________________________ I would like to thank my supervisor Professor Leif-Magnus Jensen for his support and guidelines. I also want to thank Per Skoglund for his advice and interesting thoughts. Additionally, I want to express my appreciation and gratefulness to all the respondents from the container terminal and dry port industries. Special thanks to the interviewees and respondents of Gothenburg and Jönköping area for their time and valuable contribution to this study. May 2012, Jönköping Robert Castrillón D. ii INTENTIONALLY BLANK iii Master Thesis in Business Administration - ILSCM Programme Title: Relationships between Maritime Container Terminals and Dry Ports and their impact on Inter-port competition Author: Robert Castrillón Dussán Tutor: Assistant Professor Leif-Magnus Jensen Date: 2012-05-14 Subject terms: Container terminals, dry ports, relationship assessment, customer /supplier interaction, inter-port competition, inland integration of port services _________________________________________________________________________ Abstract Globalization of the world’s economy, containerization, intermodalism and specialization have reshaped transport systems and the industries that are considered crucial for the international distribution of goods such as the port industry. Simultaneously, economies of location, economies of scope, economies of scale, optimization of production factors, and clustering of industries have triggered port regionalization and inland integration of port services especially those provided by container terminals. In this integration dry ports have emerged as a vital intermodal platform for the effective and efficient distribution of containerized cargo.

We look forward to our continued collaboration with member countries in achieving Blue Growth through policies and implementation of development programmes in fisheries and aquaculture.” Árni M. Mathiesen, Assistant Director-General, FAO Fisheries and Aquaculture Department The Blue Growth Initiative Fisheries and aquaculture support the livelihoods of millions of people around the world in rural and coastal communities, and often play a key role in a society’s culture and identity. As these communities know well, fish is also a healthy and nutritious food, with the potential to feed our growing planet. But as the population grows, the demand for fish increases, and our natural resources are increasingly under pressure, sustainable management and development is crucial to preserving these resources for future generations. Like the Green Economy principles that preceded it, FAO’s Blue Growth Initiative emphasizes the three pillars of sustainable development– economic, environmental and social – so that fisheries and aquaculture contribute to the 2030 Agenda Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
