This comprehensive book aims to shed light on the intricate connections between maritime ports, supply chains, and logistics. Inland corridors, acting as vital arteries for inland transportation, play a crucial role in connecting maritime ports with major inland metropolitan areas. These corridors facilitate the movement of goods from the sea to the land, enhancing the efficiency of international supply chains.

The success of international supply chains relies not only on the smooth operations within the port but also on the efficiency of inland distribution in terms of cost, reliability, value-added services, safety, and environmental sustainability. Recognizing the importance of inland distribution, this book brings together contributions from international experts to provide a transversal perspective on logistics corridor development.

Organized into four key sections, the book explores the interrelationships between ports and corridors through a combination of empirical and theoretical research from various disciplines, including engineering, human and social sciences, and more. It highlights the significance of ports as gateways to global trade, while also emphasizing the role of inland corridors in connecting ports with their hinterlands.

Maritime Ports, Supply Chains, and Logistics Corridors will be of immense value to a wide range of scholars and postgraduate researchers in the fields of transport studies and management, maritime logistics, supply chain management, international logistics, industrial engineering, geography, economics, and political science. By delving into the complexities of maritime ports, supply chains, and logistics corridors, this book offers valuable insights into the global logistics landscape and its impact on economic development and sustainability.
