Cover Story: Ports are important sources of added value and employment, but the crucial hinterland connectivity often causes nuisance which threatens the licence of the port to operate. Through bundling, these external costs can be reduced and when one port does not generate enough cargo to organise a high-frequency service, cooperation with a neighbour can alleviate this problem. This paper shows how and where, for all European TEN-T ports, opportunities exist to reduce external costs and how to monetise the value of the cost reductions. It uses the case of the ports of Dunkirk and Zeebruges as an example of this quantification. View this paper
