Description

Worldwide development like globalisation and scale increase have totally changed the port and martime landscape. Thinking in terms of separate sections, like ports, has been replace by thinking in terms of maritime-logistics chains. Succesful chains look like well-oiled machines, whereby all sections and nodes are perfectly aligned. At the same time, these developments also generate new questions in relation to the future industrial-economic structure of the maritime and ports sector. Does the evolution towards bigger ships continue in the direction of even more hub-and-spoke systems? Will there be further consolidation and concentration among shipping companies and port managers? What are the consequences in terms of negotation power? Will an eventual integration be horizontal or vertical? How dynamic will ports become within logistics chains?
