Abstract: In spite of the increase in the last 10 years, especially in countries with large container handling in Asia and Europe, research on dry ports is still in its initial phase, focusing on the definition of concepts and the application of location models. However, the processes in this sector that can influence the logistic structure of all countries, has become complex when adding different decision makers and many criteria. In order to discuss the challenges and new perspectives of the sector, highlighting the main criteria and actors that influence the decision making process, this paper will present studies related to dry ports, through a systematic review in articles published from 2000 on by surveying the Scopus and Web of Science databases. In this way, this paper contributes with a framework composed by 45 criteria to be considered in the decision making process, involving 11 decision-makers. The paper also discusses the main issues addressed and the gaps identified in the literature, highlighting the challenges and opportunities of research in the context of dry ports.
