The Transport Issues Transport infrastructure – congested ports, road, rail, air Lack of competition Inter-modal capabilities – containerisation where
appropriate High transport costs – land locked countries Need for common standards (axle weights, height etc) Availability and capacity of suitable haulage – chilled
units / ventilated units Security (personnel and cargo) Availability of appropriate warehousing Import / export imbalance

The Transport Challenge!
“The challenge is to develop a deregulated and privatised multi‐modal transportation and logistics system responsive to the trader’s and economy's needs and user expectations.”

Also, let’s exploit:
ICT / Single Window Concept Trade / maritime Corridors Beneficial contracting Collaborative border management Customs modernisation – ‘facilitate legitimate trade’ Transport liberalisation, and
A holistic approach to trade facilitation and subsequent increased competitiveness
