Dumitrescu, Anca C.Smith, GrahamOsborne, Theresa K.2015-01-212015-01-212015-01https://hdl.handle.net/10986/21322This document has been produced by the World Bank to support the Government of Guatemala as it improves its transport and logistics sector management in pursuit of enhanced country competitiveness. It identifies and defines elements of a National Transport and Logistics Strategy (NTLS) through the development of a methodology which analyzes bottlenecks and related costs along the main logistics corridors. It does so with a view to (a) mobilizing support in the trading community (essentially private sector) for logistic service improvements, (b) identifying the need for broader public-sector reforms in transport which indirectly impact logistics performance, and (c) helping the Government to set sector priorities and hence to prioritize public investment. At the same time, it points out where improved data and monitoring of performance are needed in order to better quantify economic costs, diagnose key logistics issues, and track improved performance. It thereby proposes, as part of the set of recommended activities, to build the Government of Guatemala s capacity to measure performance and take action. While the document is based on sound analysis of some aspects of the country s logistics system, it must be considered primarily a starting point which is subject to broad country dissemination and debate by public and private stakeholders.en-USCC BY 3.0 IGOAGRICULTUREAIMAIRAIR CARGOAIR FREIGHTAIR TRANSPORTAIR TRANSPORT SECTORAIRPORTAIRPORTSAVERAGE COSTSAVERAGE TRAVEL SPEEDSBANK LENDINGBARRIERS TO ENTRYBENCHMARKBERTHBERTHSBORDER CROSSINGBORDER CROSSINGSBORDER MANAGEMENTBOTTLENECKSBRIDGESBUS TRANSITCABOTAGECARGO HANDLINGCARGO HANDLING EQUIPMENTCITY STREETSCOMMODITIESCOMPETITIVENESSCONSUMERSCONTAINER HANDLINGCONTAINER OPERATIONSCONTAINER TERMINALSCONTAINER TRAFFICCONTAINER VESSELSCONTAINERIZATIONCONTAINERSCOST OF TRANSPORTATIONCOST-BENEFIT ANALYSISCRANESCROSSINGCUSTOMSDELIVERIESDELIVERY TIMESDEPOTSDEVELOPMENT AGENCIESDEVELOPMENT ECONOMICSDEVELOPMENT STRATEGYDIESELDIESEL FUELDOMESTIC AIRPORTSDRAINAGEDREDGINGECONOMETRIC ANALYSISECONOMIC INTEGRATIONECONOMIC PRIORITYELASTICITYELASTICITY OF DEMANDELASTICITY OF SUPPLYEMERGENCY RESPONSEEXCAVATIONEXPORTSFINANCE INFRASTRUCTUREFIXED COSTSFLEET SIZEFLEETSFRAMEWORKFREE TRADEFREIGHTFREIGHT FORWARDERSFREIGHT RATESFREIGHT SERVICEFREIGHT SERVICESFREIGHT TRAFFICFREIGHT TRANSPORTFREIGHT TRAVELFUELFUEL COSTSFUEL EFFICIENCYFUELSGASOLINEGDPHANDLINGHIGH TRANSPORTHIGHWAYHIGHWAYSHUMAN CAPITALIMPERFECT COMPETITIONINCOMEINFRASTRUCTURE PLANNINGINLAND TRANSPORTINLAND WATERWAYSINSPECTIONINTERNATIONAL BORDER CROSSINGINTERNATIONAL TRADEINVENTORYJOURNEYLANESLIGHT RAILLIGHT RAIL SYSTEMLOCAL TRAFFICLOGISTICS CHAINLOGISTICS COSTSLONG-DISTANCELONG-DISTANCE TRAFFICMAIN ROADSMANUFACTURINGMARITIME TRANSPORTMOBILITYMONOPOLYMOTOR VEHICLESNATIONAL TRANSPORTNAVIGATIONAL AIDSOPEN ECONOMIESPACKAGINGPARKINGPARKING AREASPARKING FACILITIESPASSENGERPASSENGER TRAFFICPASSENGERSPORT AUTHORITIESPORT AUTHORITYPORT FACILITIESPRICE DISCRIMINATIONQUAYSRAILRAIL TRANSPORTRAILWAYRAILWAY LINERAILWAYSRAPID BUSREEFER CONTAINERSREGULATORY FRAMEWORKRESURFACINGRIGHT OF WAYRIGHT-OF-WAYRING ROADROADROAD IMPROVEMENTROAD IMPROVEMENTSROAD INFRASTRUCTUREROAD MAINTENANCEROAD MANAGEMENTROAD NETWORKROAD NETWORKSROAD PROJECTSROAD QUALITYROAD TRAFFICROAD TRANSPORTROADSROUTEROUTESROUTINE MAINTENANCERUNWAYRUNWAYSRURAL ROADSSAFETYSEAPORTSSECONDARY ROADSSHARINGSHIPMENTSSHIPPERSSHIPPINGSHIPPING COMPANIESSHIPSSTORAGE CAPACITYSTORAGE FACILITIESSTRUCTURESSUBURBSTAXTAX REVENUESTERRAINTERTIARY ROADSTOLLTOLL ROADTOPOGRAPHYTOTAL COSTSTRADE BARRIERSTRADE FACILITATIONTRADE LOGISTICSTRADE POLICYTRAFFICTRAFFIC CONGESTIONTRAFFIC COUNTSTRAFFIC DELAYSTRAFFIC JAMSTRAFFIC MANAGEMENTTRAINSTRANSPARENCYTRANSPORTTRANSPORT CORRIDORSTRANSPORT COST SAVINGSTRANSPORT COSTSTRANSPORT INFRASTRUCTURETRANSPORT MARKETTRANSPORT MODETRANSPORT OPERATORSTRANSPORT POLICYTRANSPORT PRICETRANSPORT SAFETYTRANSPORT SERVICESTRANSPORT SPECIALISTSTRANSPORT STRATEGYTRANSPORTATIONTRANSPORTATION COSTTRAVEL SPEEDTRAVEL SPEEDSTRAVEL TIMETRAVEL TIMESTRIPSTRUCK TRAFFICTRUCKINGTRUCKSURBAN CONGESTIONURBAN TRANSITVEHICLESVELOCITYWAITING TIME10.1596/21322
