Abstract

Deutsche GVZ-Gesellschaft (DGG) establishes the first ranking of Freight Villages (dry ports) throughout Europe. The study assesses the level of development of the European Freight Villages by a method oriented on the benchmarking approach. The results of this process build the first ranking of Freight Villages (FV) on an European level. The study will help to provide more transparency to the market segment of international logistics centres and is oriented to give a positive impulse to the further successful European development of sustainable macrologistics concepts. As a kind of a side effect this comparison shall also allow a networking among the FV’s Europe-wide, supported by better knowledge and access to significant information of the market position and strategies of the individual locations.
