Shipping and port systems are vital to societies and lifestyles
around the world. In the late twentieth-century, however,
assumptions concerning the robustness of these systems were
severely shaken by economic shocks triggered by oil crises.
This volume explores how many of the consequent uncertainties have
been resolved, and how adapted systems have been shaped to meet the
challenges of the new millennium. To explore these issues,
contributors focus on issues such as:
* Economic integration of emerging economies - in particular
China
* Sectors as diverse as the high-speed ferry and offshore oil
industries
* Pollution problems generated by shipping
Contributors' investigations, such as those in to the
homogenization of the container industry and the port cluster
concept and 'model' vessels for the offshore oil industry, make for
a rewarding book that will be of interest to academics working in
many fields including transport studies, marine and coastal studies
and economic geography. Professional Organizations and
policy-makers will also appreciate the book.
