Challenges • Geological status of Roadsand Infrastructure International Recognition of Dryports • • Transshipment facility and additional Port Connectivity • International Guidelines for leasingout of ports • Road carriage act and Regulation • Rail carriage act and regulation Dry Port Management issues • (Managerial/Technical/Awareness) • Reduction in Import/ExportProcess 30

Way Forward: • Cost of logistics and transit transportation for landlocked countries is > 15% than coastal countries • UNESCAP needs to address capacity building activities for managerial, technical and awareness issues regarding dry port taking in mind of its importance Should conduct national levelactivities also • • International agency should focus on bringing out guidelines related to transshipment, port leasing, Registration of LOCODE, Locate dry port on the international shipping map, etc. • Ratification of Intergovernmental Agreement on Dry ports 31
