Economic regulation of liner conference agreements
and similar cooperation agreemetns in the liner
shipping evolved rapidly and this has had an
impact on the structure of the industry. The
industry had to cope with the challenges of
globalisation and the need to provide scheduled
services. This book presents the study which explored
the relationship between the evolving economic
regulation and the structural changes that the
industry faced in the period 1980s to late 2000.
Recently the Eurupean Union has repealed EC
Regulation 4056/86, with effect from 18 October
2008. However, the likely impact of this is not
explored in this book since it was
completed much earlier than the changes brought
about in the regulations recently. This book is
important in its treatment of the history of
economic regulation and the analytical insight to
the structural changes that the industry experienced
during the period under study.
