Development Rate of Maritime Containers Ports: A case of transatlantic Ports

Journal of Maritime Research

This article aims to determine the development (rate) of maritime container ports in a case involving transatlantic container transport in order to ascertain a model of container flows between container ter- minals in the United States and container terminals in Western and Northern Europe. The model proposed by the authors is made using the following eight key elements: transport infrastructure and suprastructure, influence of the intelligent information system, economic growth, transport ecology, transport flows, innovations and safety and security and transport energy. The research builds mainly upon empirical data analysis

Tunisian seaport and globalization: the challenges of the first generation ports

The gradual evolutions lead to a new environment for seaports. The context becomes more complex and difficult to predict the future and respond to new situations for the first generation ports. In addition, the international trade growth, the development directed to overseas countries and the containerization increased. All these developments have a massive effect on the Tunisian seaports, which damaged through the violence of globalization and the challenges of the maritime ports to remain it’s as the first generation ports.

Contribution to the assessment of the economic performance of container ports in the Mediterra- nean & Tangier-Med

IJSER, 2017

currently, container ports operate in a highly competitive environment. The viability of the port sector depends mainly on their degree of performance. In this context, an assessment of their performance proves to be an exam of a major consideration. This research seeks to assess the economic performance of container ports in the Mediterranean, including Tangier-Med. For this, we will apply the econometric method of Stochastic Frontier Analysis (SFA). The sample includes 22 container ports in the Mediterranean region. According to the SFA method, technical inefficiency dominates the performance models of the ports of the region. According to the parameter μ, a representation of the efficiency according to a half-normal distribution falls perfectly adequate for the port industry. The impact of China's trade on the prosperity of Mediterranean ports is crucial. On the other hand, the relationship is strong between capacities-demand and efficiency in port industry. Employment and underemployment of port resources are constantly alternated following the expansion projects. The intensity of port technical capital is considered within the framework of the particular strategies carried out by the different ports, our research distinguishes 5 types of port strategy: leader, follower, moderation, rationalization of resources and mere attendee strategy.
