The hypothesis: "Dutch regulatory barriers are the primary obstacles preventing Physical Internet hub implementation in Dutch ports within 12 months without direct regulatory intervention."

To what extent do you agree?

Strongly agree — regulation is clearly the primary blocker Agree — regulation is the main issue, though other factors play a role Neutral — multiple barriers are equally significant Disagree — other barriers are more significant Strongly disagree — regulatory barriers are not the primary obstacle

Is PI hub deployment in Dutch ports feasible within 12 months under current regulations?

Yes — feasible under current regulations Possibly — feasible with minor adjustments No — requires significant regulatory reform No — 12 months is unrealistic regardless of regulation Unsure
