It presents an overview of the logistics issues facing East Asia countries and proposes a development agenda for them. Based on the recognition that the countries have basic differences in their level of development, extent of openness, and composition of trade, it begins by discussing the benefits of improved logistics. The East Asian countries are organized into an action matrix, with an analysis of the logistics needs appropriate to each group. The country working papers (volumes 2, 3, & 5)discuss the assessment of preset logistics services and the impediments they impose upon, and opportunities they offer for, expanded trade, including policy reform proposals. The special report on ports (volume 4) addresses port development in relation to urban growth.en-USCC BY 3.0 IGOACCESSIBILITYAIR POLLUTIONAIR TRANSPORTAPPROVAL PROCESSBARGESBERTHBERTHSBOATSBRIDGEBULK GRAINCARGOCARRIERSCHANNELSCONGESTIONCONTAINER FACILITIESCONTAINER HANDLINGCONTAINER HANDLING CAPACITYCONTAINER SHIPSCONTAINER TERMINALCONTAINER TERMINALSCONTAINER TRUCKSCONTAINERSCRANESCUSTOMSCUSTOMS CLEARANCEDANGEROUS GOODSDELIVERY SCHEDULESDISTRIBUTION CENTERSDOCKYARDSDREDGINGDRY PORTDWTFRAMEWORKFREIGHTFREIGHT TRANSPORTFREIGHT VEHICLESFUELGRADEHANDLINGINCOMEINLAND TRANSPORTINLAND WATERWAYSINSPECTIONINTERCHANGESINTERNATIONAL TRADELAND RECLAMATIONLOADINGLOGISTICSMAJOR PORTSMANUFACTURINGMARINE POLLUTIONMODES OF TRANSPORTNAVIGATIONNOISEOPERATIONAL SAFETYPORTPORT ACCESSPORT ACTIVITIESPORT AREAPORT ASSETSPORT AUTHORITIESPORT AUTHORITYPORT CAPACITYPORT DEVELOPMENTPORT EXPANSIONPORT FACILITYPORT FUNCTIONSPORT LANDPORT OPERATIONPORT OPERATIONSPORT POLICYPORT USERSPORTSPUBLIC PORTSRAIL FREIGHTRAILWAYSRIVER TRANSPORTROAD TRANSPORTSEAPORTSSEDIMENTATIONSHARINGSHIPSHIPPINGSHIPPING LINESSHIPSSPEEDSTOCKSTERMINAL CAPACITYTERMINAL FACILITIESTERMINAL OPERATORSTRADETRAFFICTRAFFIC CONGESTIONTRAFFIC FLOWTRAFFIC GENERATIONTRANSPORT ECONOMICSTRANSPORT NETWORKSTRANSPORT OF GOODSTRANSPORT UNITSTRANSPORTATIONTRUCKSUNIT TRAINSURBAN PLANNINGURBAN TRAFFICVELOCITYVESSELSWHARFWHARVES TRADELOGISTICSLOGISTICS ANALYSISLOGISTIC SYSTEMSCONTAINER TRANSPORTMULTIMODAL TRANSPORTCUSTOMS CLEARANCE PROCEDURESAIR FREIGHTTRANSPORT INFRASTRUCTUREIMPORTSAGRICULTURAL TRADETRADE FACILITATIONTRADE AGREEMENTSLOGISTICS CHAINCROSS BORDER TRADECONTAINER DEPOTSCOFFEE TRADECLOTHING INDUSTRYWOOD INDUSTRYSUPPLY CHAINSCORN INDUSTRYPORTS REGULATIONPORT CAPACITYPORT MANAGEMENTPORT DEVELOPMENT10.1596/17395
