| Abstract |
The world economy has changed thoroughly as a result of an international redistribution of labor and capital, and the process of integration and globalization of markets, production and consumption. The market developments in the world economy have affected the role and the significance of seaports. Modern seaports have become critical nodes within a complex of interacting logistics chains. Seaports have evolved from transport centers to complex logistic and industrial centers. Seaports that fail to establish themselves as key players in such an optimization process stand a serious chance of being disregarded as ports of call on international freight routes. Competition among various port actors therefore has become extremely fierce. The analysis of the competitive position of seaports presented in this book takes into account all the recent changes and developments in the global transport industry. More specifically, this book offers an economic and legal analysis of the factors determining the competiveness of seaports. The general aim is to provide a framework for understanding the competitive position of Flanders' seaports within Europe, particularly the position of Antwerp in the Hamburg-Le Havre range. |
