This report looks in particular at whether gateway ports, hubs, and their inland transport connections are up to the demanding tasks ahead. Case studies explore the opportunities and challenges and help identify the pertinent key issues. Much of this infrastructure will require improved capacity to handle volumes two or three times current levels, not to mention the largest passenger aircraft and container vessels in use by 2030. Improved funding and financing arrangements will be needed in many countries, given their current deficit and debt levels and other expected demands on budget resources. The report proposes a set of policy options to enhance the contribution of these infrastructures to economic and social development at home and abroad in the years to come. The options include recognition of strategic infrastructure (including gateways, hubs and key connections) in national policy frameworks and comprehensive measures to strengthen approaches and support the infrastructure development required.
