Abstract

This article analyses how information and communication technology (ICT) is used to support the hinterland transport of maritime containers. It focuses on the way information is conveyed between actors using an ICT facility structure, and how integrative information is used by different partners’ information systems to make different transport operations more efficient and to offer improved service.
