Through investigating the container transhipment
industry along the Hamburg-Le Havre range in North
Europe, this book discusses the theory and
practice of port competition. Apart from providing a
theoretical framework to future port research, this
book identifies the major factors affecting port
attractiveness, assesses port choice behaviour,
investigates current port competitiveness and
forecasts their future prospects within the market.
This book argues that the key for ports to sustain
competitiveness does not only depend on port s
administrative system, but also how it executes the
system and makes things work. It is believed that
this book offers significant insight on the
relations between port service suppliers and users,
as well as a valuable reference to efficient port
strategic management.
