The study examines policy options relating to the establishment and further development of inland logistics centres and dry ports with an international role. It provides the Economic and Social Commission for Asia and the Pacific (ESCAP) secretariat with a solid base to engage in further research and analysis in this area, in order to present countries with policy options in developing inland logistics centres and dry ports. It examines at the extent to which the concept of a seaport can be applied inland. The publication also developed a cluster concept applied to industry, in particular to the logistics and port industry. It also provides Governments and industry with an initial step- by-step process to evaluate the potential of future logistics centres and dry ports.
