Synopsis

This text provides an overview and understanding of the total port activity. It should enable managers who work within one specific area within a port to see how their particular responsibilities fit into the total operational and commercial of a complex maritime transport interface. The book explains what a port is, its many changing and developing functions and how it may be owned or operated. It introduces the key concepts and definitions, and provides an analysis of different types of port. It goes on to trace how ports have developed and changed, and the impact that ship technology has had on ports.
