Szczecin, Polonia
The main topic of the article is the analysis and assessment of hinterlands of intermodal terminals in Polish seaports. The article presents the results of research conducted in three container terminals, one Ro-Ro and one ferry terminal, which are located in Polish seaports: Szczecin, Świnoujście, Gdynia and Gdańsk. The research was based on questionnaire survey of over 1 thousand drivers, who deliver consignments to/from Polish terminals and information obtained directly in the terminals. This paper deals with the ports hinterlands structure covered by road and rail transport, the range of captive and contestable hinterlands. The analysis presents the average distance of pre-haulage. The research presented in he article allow to specify the shape of the land-sea transport chains operating in the European transport system. Ratio of the pre-haulage distance to the sea distance has a significant impact on how short-sea shipping contributes to the internal and external costs of transport. The study may therefore be helpful to assess the role of short sea shipping in sustainable transport.
