Popis: This paper measures the contribution of inland accessibility to the spatial concentration of general cargo and container shipping services in Eu-ropean NUTS 3 regions. We found that the variation in inland accessibility (measured by a potential access to population) accounts for 43% of variation of the general cargo transport supply. This seems to indicate that maritime transport supply remains strongly linked with the economic potential of regions, even if container services are slightly less linked to the latter (36%) because they depend more on the structure of hub & spokes networks. Through a seg-mentation of sea services by world regions, we show that the contribution of inland accessibility to maritime connectivity varies depending on the overseas markets.
