SimpliShip Blog Making Urban Freight Distribution Sustainable

Port cities around the world deal with the difficult task of accommodating freight distribution in busy and congested urban settings. Current infrastructure in these cities does not adequately meet the needs of incoming and outgoing traffic and cargo activity. Along with normal urban bustle, port cities often have increased congestion from cruise line terminals and tourist attractions in the area. But sustainable urban development and restructuring can change current deficiencies in freight mobility. Europe and other nations aim to increase energy efficiency and improve the productivity in the urban freight industry through regulation (and deregulation), by improving communications, and upgrading technologies.
