Abstract

A GENERAL FRAMEWORK FOR SHORT SEA SHIPPING

Abstract

The movement of cargo and passengers needs balanced and integrated use of all modes of transport. The main and preferable feature is to be competed with other forms of transportation as road, rail and air. Maritime transport and other land bases cooperate to form truly mixed mode logistics chains. Short combined transportation is one of the modes that minimize the negations that road transport brings about such as high transportation costs, emission, noise pollution, traffic density, accident involving death or personal injury. Canalizing of the transport network to the sea at short distances has been aimed to be the alternative to road transport and improve the combined transport. Turkey where the road transport is frequently preferred has serious potential because of its position and natural structure about to create transportation network between different modes most particularly including reliable and cheaper marine shipping. The main purpose of this study is to provide a general description and assessment about short sea shipping, also to examine Turkey’s combined transport operations by making the literature review
