Port Economics, Management and Policy provides a comprehensive analysis of the contemporary port industry, showing how ports are organized to serve the global economy and support regional and local development.

The second edition has been significantly revised from the first, offering a more comprehensive and structured approach. Organized in eleven parts plus an introduction and epilogue, this textbook examines a wide range of seaport topics, covering maritime shipping and international trade, port terminals, port governance, port competition, port policy, and many other critical aspects of ports.

Key features of the book include:

- A multidisciplinary perspective, drawing on economics, geography, management science and engineering

- A multisector analysis, including containers, bulk, breakbulk and the cruise industry

- A focus on the latest industry trends, such as supply chain management, automation, energy transition, digitalization and sustainability

Benefitting from the authors’ extensive involvement in shaping the port sector globally, this text provides students and scholars with a valuable resource on ports and maritime transport systems. Practitioners and policymakers can also use this as an essential guide towards better port management and governance.
