Maritime sector changed over the past two centuries, as global scale generated a drive to improve port efficiency. The competitive advantage approach comes as form of institutional reform transferring The Egyptian ports under study from just a gate of cargo delivery to a commercial service center that contributes in the economic welfare of the maritime sector as a whole.The rise of international trade led Egyptian ports to acknowledge the benefits of private participation in port services to go in parallel with the globalization trends and the paradigm shift in management. Although Egyptian ports enjoy a considerable number of comparative advantages as the supreme strategic location between three continents, and the presence of Suez Canal and its extensions linking East to the West, there is a wide lack of competitive advantage standards that are enjoyed among its rivals. The book in hand displays a comparative analysis between the international vs the Egyptian ports on one hand and focuses on two case studies of Egyptian ports on the other hand.
