Spatial Evolution of the European Container Ports’ System in Perspective of the Location Theory

Abstract

The maritime container terminal is nowadays a spatially incoherent object. From the functional point of view it ends, where their most external components are located. The process of location splitting of container terminals is a new phase of their discrete growth. The external container facilities are being built to improve effectivness of the logistic chain in the hinterland. The new components of container terminals have very complex functional program, and thanks to smart technologies they are working together as a one system. The spatail structure of the maritime container terminals' system could be compared to the dendritic shape of a neuron (where the kernel is a terminal, the arms are transportation corridors). The paper aims to present the graphical model explaining the changes in distribution and hierarchy of container terminals’ external elements in relation to the network of the settlement structure.
