In the first part of the interview questionnaire, participants were asked about their perspectives on the role of dry ports in Malaysia, including definition and classification, objectives and functions. The results are discussed in sections 1, 2 and 3 respectively below. Subsequently, the results in relation to the second and third part of questionnaire, i.e. challenges and strategies of Malaysian dry ports, are addressed in 4 and 5. Discussions are based on categories or themes which have been developed through the data analysis process. All those codes are connected to explore the role of Malaysian dry ports in the container seaport system and provide a clear picture on the current situation for Malaysian dry ports.
