What are the three types of "bridges" used to facilitate the movement of marine containers. How do they function? And what are the advantages of each?
• Land Bridge. This option involves a combination of ocean-rail-ocean intermodal transport. For example, a container travels from Tokyo to Seattle via ocean vessel, from Seattle to New York via train, and onward to Rotterdam via ocean vessel. This is an example of the Asia-America-Europe land bridge. The other primary route is the Asia-Europe land bridge.
• Mini Land Bridge. This option involves a combination of ocean and rail transport to a location across the destination country. For example, a container would move from Shanghai, China, to Los Angeles via ocean carrier with onward delivery to Savannah via rail.
• Micro Land Bridge. This option involves a combination of ocean and rail transport to an inland location. For example, a container would move from Shanghai, China, to Long Beach via ocean carrier with onward delivery to Denver via rail.
