This paper examines the influential factors of Malaysian dry port operations by conducting a web-based survey of Malaysian dry port stakeholders. Multiple regressions were employed for analysing the data collected. The regression results reveal that among 30 factors investigated 12 were significantly important to Malaysian dry port operations. These include information system factors sufficient information sharing and providing accurate forecasting of freight; service features factors, i.e. customs clearance and value-added services; capacity factors such as adequate highway and wide roads, sufficient operational equipment and sufficient space for current and future container storage; government policy factors including public-private partnerships (PPP), seaport policy and cabotage policy; and hinterland condition factors i.e. road connectivity and the strategic location of dry ports.
