• Resumen

  • The hub-and-spoke systems are frequently connected with maritime, air and road transport. The international container traffic in maritime transport is developed under this model. For a port to achieve a “Hub Status” in maritime container transport, its traffic should exceed 1,000,000 tons per year and be provided with the necessary equipment to use simultaneously three post-panamax cranes for a new-generation vessel. Huge container vessels dock only at Hub ports and international shipping companies transfer their containers from these ports to their round the world and feeder 1 lines.
