Full text linkThis study examines the factors that affect transportation mode split and how mode split affects port congestion with a particular emphasis on comparing ports in Europe to Sri Lankan and The Gambian Ports. As ports are major nodes in maritime transportation, there is need to ensure seamless movement of cargos in and out of the port to avoid delays. Delay in moving cargo to and from the ports leads to port congestion. This usually amounts to extra costs for shippers while it leads to gradual damage of port facilities. To address this issue, there is need to ensure there is provision of more than one mode of transportation in and out of the port to facilitate effective transportation mode split.
The study utilizes a mixed method research method comprising usage of both quantitative and qualitative data obtained from Interview sessions with key maritime stakeholders and semi structured questionnaire distributed to stakeholders in the maritime sector to obtain valuable insights into transportation mode split. It examines how important it is to facilitate mode split and lessen port congestion through hinterland connectivity, infrastructure development, stakeholder collaboration, and sustainable transportation. In addition to highlighting how technology improvements have improved port operations, the report assesses the strategies and policies put in place in these areas to facilitate effective cargo transportation.
This study offers important insights and suggestions for maritime stakeholders and policymakers looking to address port congestion through efficient mode split development by looking at the experiences of European ports, the Gambia, and Sri Lank
