Assessing The Market Niche Of Eurasian Rail Freight In The Belt And Road Era., Xu Zhang, Hans-Joachim Schramm
Articles
This paper presents an overview of the recent development of Eurasian rail freight in the Belt and Road era and further evaluates its service quality in terms of transit times and transport costs compared to other transport modes in containerised supply chains between Europe and China.
A trade-off model of transit time and transport costs based on quantitative data from primary and secondary sources is developed to demonstrate the market niche for Eurasian rail freight vis-a-vis the more established modes of transport of sea, air, and sea/air. In a scenario analysis, further cargo attributes influencing modal choice are employed to …

Service Quality Assessment Of Free Trade Port Zone Using Multilayer Quality Function Deployment: An Empirical Study In Taiwan, Sheng-Teng Huang, Ki-Yin Chang, I-Hsuan Su, Ay-Shiou Chiou, Yin-Chi Chen
Journal of Marine Science and Technology
The aim of this paper is to improve the service quality of Taiwan’s free trade port zone (FTPZ), which is the key facilitator for trade activities and economic growth. However, high service quality is important to satisfy FTPZ’s users, investors, and other stakeholders. This study evaluates the service quality of the FTPZ using the multilayer quality function deployment (QFD) technique. Many previous studies on the FTPZ only focused on the points of view of manufacturers, logistics companies, and cargo owners, whereas a service provider (such as the Maritime Port Bureau) has a different viewpoint. To fill this gap, we evaluate …
