RESEARCH OF A DRY PORT WHICH CAN SUPPORT CONTAINER TRANSPORTATION FROM KOCAELI PORTS IN TERMS OF POSSIBILITIES AND CAPABILITIES
Journal Title: International Journal of Engineering and Innovative Research - Year 2019, Vol 1, Issue 1
Abstract
While the containerization and intermodal transportation become widespread, dry ports within the transport network in the hinterland of a sea port have begun to play an important role in freight transport. In addition to providing the opportunity to expand the hinterland of sea ports, a dry port can also relieve a sea port that is experiencing capacity problems. It is thought that the total capacity of Kocaeli container terminals, which play an active role in Turkish foreign trade, may be insufficient to meet the needs in the coming years and therefore a dry port to be established in the region may support the seaports in increasing their throughput volumes. The Köseköy logistics center, which is considered to be a suitable candidate in this regard, has been examined in terms of the facilities and capabilities it has to possess, and the minimum land area of that dry port has been determined by taking into account the demand of 2035 through a mathematical model. In this study, it is assessed that the Köseköy logistics center has enough space to construct the required facilities in supporting the ports in the region in terms of container transportation, however, it must acquire new abilities. On the other hand, it is considered necessary that TCDD (Turkish Republic State Railways) complete its infrastructure investments to increase the freight transport capacity to a minimum one million TEU a year between Gebze and Köseköy.
