Abstract

Most Ports are not as effective as they should be and are becoming barriers to foreign trade. Most of them have not been able to meet the demands of modern trade. Another type of problems that have a negative effect on the port performance such as, lack of capacity of the stations that leads to decrease service of cargo areas of ports, increases the duration of customs clearance procedures. The concept of dry ports come because of increased competitiveness and growth in the volume and the global trade movement, which led to an increase in the demand for transport services. So, the aim of this research to verify opportunities and challenges that are facing the connectivity between dry port and intermodal transport through conducting semi structured interviews.This research will have an original contribution through highlighting the importance of the linkage between dry port and intermodal transport and its impact on the port in terms of opportunities and barriers.
