This report examines the concept of port competition, a critical aspect of the maritime
industry's economic and operational dynamics. The report draws on Meersman, Voorde, V.,
D., and Vanelslander's (2010) article "Port Competition Revisited," which presents a
comprehensive framework for analyzing port competition and its implications for the
industry's stakeholders. Through a literature review and case studies, this report evaluates
the key factors that contribute to port competition and their impact on port performance,
efficiency, and profitability. The report concludes that effective port competition
management requires a multifaceted approach that addresses port infrastructure, service
quality, pricing strategies, regulatory frameworks, and stakeholder engagement. The
findings of this report have practical implications for port operators, policymakers, and
investors, as they seek to navigate the evolving challenges and opportunities in the global
maritime landscape.
