Seaport gateways and the corridors which connect them to widely
dispersed hinterlands are of vital and essential importance to
international trade and the world economy. Distributing goods to
ultimate land destinations or bringing the goods to seaports from
inland origins is organizationally complex involving multiple
actors. This book furthers understanding about how this movement is
organized, the role of ports acting as gateways and the actions of
corridor players. A key question that confronts the shipping and
port industries, as well as public authorities, is how to increase
the benefits of maritime trade to the companies and institutions
directly involved as well as the port city-regions where the
transfers take place? This question is being posed in the midst of
a global economic recession and trade downturn, and in the context
of contemporary policy frameworks whose goals are to generate
economic benefits and efficiencies rather than to maximize traffic
volumes. This book puts into perspective the reality, opportunities
and challenges facing seaport gateways and corridors now and in the
future.
