Port Economics is the study of the economic decisions (and their
consequences) of the users and providers of port services. A port
works as an "engine" for economic development. This book provides a
detailed discussion of port freight service users, such as freight
water and land carriers, that have their ships and vehicles serviced
and their cargoes unloaded by ports, as well as passenger services
such as ferry carriers which are serviced by ferry passenger ports.
This text continues to enhance our understanding of port economics by
exploring the economic theories, supply and demand curves, and the
actual and opportunity costs relating to the carriers, shippers and
passengers who use ports. This new edition has been updated
throughout. This includes: An expanded discussion of container,
break-bulk, dry-bulk, liquid-bulk and neo-bulk ports; An introduction
of port service chains, hinterland transport chains, maritime
transport chains and port multi-service congestion; A discussion of
seaborne trade, dry ports, port centrality and connectivity and free
trade zones. This updated and comprehensive introduction to port
economics will be of benefit to students and researchers in their
study of port economics and management. It is also of great importance
to professionals who manage and operate ports as well as freight and
passenger carriers.
