Abstract: The paper presents the main results of a research aimed to theoretically define and numerically apply an optimization model for the economic analysis and strategic planning of the inland logistics of maritime containers imported through the seaports of Naples and Salerno located in the Campania region (Southern Italy). The containers can transit through the regional interports at Nola and Marcianise, as well as through extra-regional locations equipped with a railway terminal, before reaching their final destinations. The programming problem minimizes the total logistic cost of the container distribution operations over the port-hinterland network, subject to flow balance conditions at all origins, intermediate and destination nodes, as well as both to non-negativity restrictions on endogenous variables and capacity constraints over the railway links. It solves for the multimodal inland traffic demand among different nodes (seaports, interports, etc.) for full and empty units disembarked in Campania and, more generally, it estimates the modal split of inland distribution traffics of containers imported in Italy by sea through the Campania seaports. The total logistic cost includes transportation costs (by road and railway), terminal and customs operation costs, and in-transit inventory holding costs.

Keywords: inland container logistics; multimodal transport; regional logistic system; interports; customs; dwell time; total logistic cost; mathematical programming; virtual nodes. (search for similar items in EconPapers)
