Abstract
The operations within a vehicle transshipment terminal can be distinguished into import and export processes. We describe both types in detail at the example of the Bremerhaven terminal, standing proxy for other large terminals with hub functionality. We then discuss methodological support for the processes on the strategic, tactical and operational level. Thereby we compare the decisions to be taken with the ones suggested for container transshipment in recent literature.
