As other have pointed out, ports need to be prepared to handle the carrier industry special characteristics, in terms of "frequency, punctuality, reliability and geographical coverage" (Slack, 1996).
Further more, ports need to be able to keep down the landslide costs, in close connection with some of the things I have previously mentioned when referring to dry bulk cargo and transportation. The competition, brought about by the growing demand and growing numbers of competitors, is more and more significant and ports need to be able to offer the best services at the lowest prices. This means operability, flexibility and productivity at low landslide costs. The others more negligible
The container shipping industry, due to the cost challenge and necessity that every carrier is facing, is currently facing a concentration phase, where many of the international carrier choose vertical integration solutions in order to cut down on costs and gain a cost advantage. This means that many are becoming interested in some of the terminals on the routes that they operate, this trend being quite common in Europe. Below we have a table representing this growing trend. As we can see, MAERSK has significantly invested in terminals in Rotterdam (largest port in Europe), with participations in Bremen and Gioia Tauro.
As a parallel between the two forms of transport and the two industries, many of the challenges they face are similar. These are closely related to keeping costs down and to managing the land infrastructure. Storage facility requirements seem to be the foremost issue that needs to be taken into account. Both types of carriers require storage facilities in the terminals they use. As a difference, the pollution and environmental issue seems more of a concern in the case of dry bulk carriers that the container carrier, from obvious causes.

economics problems from a broader perspective, we need to apply macroeconomic principles. These principles help in understanding collective problems that various industry or countries are encountering and the role government can play in this connection. The paper studies current economic problems in the Transportation sector and explains how levels of supply and demand affect the demand curve. MACROECONOMICS AND TRANSPORTATION SECTOR Macroeconomics deals with economy on a larger scale and studies
Disrupting America's economic system is a fundamental objective of terrorists Even as the world continues to struggle with the terrible shock from the September 11 attacks in New York and Washington, one principle lesson has already become clear: disrupting our economic system is a fundamental objective of terrorists. Prior to September 11, our economic environment was certainly not immune to terror, in comparison to many other nations; we lived relatively terror-free. Now,
Econometric Modeling Financial risk is currently at the center of all economic activity due to the incredibly unstable financial environment of the world economy. As a consequence the search for ways to reduce risk has taken a front seat in the important issues of our day. Several instruments exist in order to increase risk reduction possibilities, these include forward and futures contracts as well as various derivatives. That the most optimal
Revenue vs Income Revenue is a top line measure, while income is lower down an income sheet. When analyzing a financial statement, revenue is just the money that was earned from sales, but income takes into account the different costs that went into gaining those sales (Boyte-White, 2017). There are actually many different types of income when analyzing financial statements, including gross income, operating income and net income. Net income is
Managerial Economics Get the financial data for a company or organization for five years. From the balance sheet and the income statement for the company or organization develop regression line formulae for each line item and predict those line item revenues and costs over the next five years. Don't do prediction for any item in the statement less than 10% of the total sales on the incomes statement or 10% of
85). Newly independent countries joined in the shipping industry as a way of demonstrating their economic independence, leading to an increase in the number of open registers as owners in the traditional maritime countries could now register in countries with less demanding tax laws and lower costs for workers. Shipbuilding, which had long been dominated by Europe and North America, moved instead to East Asia. Other changes also took place
