Port Centric Logistics as a concept in supply chain management has developed since around the turn of the millennium.Multi modal transport driven container logistics operations typically utilise ocean-going vessels for long-distance movements, with inland movements undertaken by barge, rail or truck. Conventionally the container is unloaded from the ship at the port and transported to an inland destination by truck, rail or barge.In the port centric approach, the container is unloaded at the port and its contents are then transported inland e.g. as palletised freight.
