Description

1.INTRODUCTION Shipping industry has always been competitive. Previous research such as the article Globalization in maritime transportation: competition, uncertainty and implications for port development strategy (Slack, 2001) show that each port has a history of rivalry with close or far competitors. Further on, each port tried to ensure a competitive advantage and this, implied usually infra-structure improvement such as a new dock, more storage facilities and more connections with the hinterland. Our research results will prove that without these improvements the port authority would have expected a traffic decrease.
