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 into the homogenisation 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.
