Inland Ports Provide Supply Chain Savings: Companies are closer to their markets and gain full logistics services

摘要

Inland ports can provide a significant opportunity for manufacturers and retailers to reduce their supply chain costs because using an inland port can put cargo much closer to its final destination in major population centers. By their very nature, the top inland ports provide optimum rail, truck and barge service, as well as access to air transportation. This can lead to improved supply chain efficiencies for companies looking for an alternative to transporting their cargo directly from an ocean port to its final destination.
