{"title":"Cargo Votes with its Rudder: The Geographic Mobility of Shipping and the Role of Labor","authors":"David Jaffee","doi":"10.2139/ssrn.1617346","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.2139/ssrn.1617346","url":null,"abstract":"The globalization of production and the geographic dispersion of economic activity have elevated the importance of the transportation and logistics sectors of the economy. One sector in particular that has experienced significant expansion is maritime transport and container shipping. As the cargo has become increasingly “discretionary” such that it can conceivably be transported through any port that allows intermodal access to the hinterland, the industry has become much more foot-loose vis-a-vis a particular port of entry. The enhanced mobility of the cargo results in more intense port competition. One particular place to observe and study this dynamic is in the port and terminal location decisions of shippers and shipping lines and the role of port authorities in attempting to attract these carriers to their facilities. In this paper the focus is on the role of labor, and labor relations, in such decisions. These issues will be studied in the context of the shift of container traffic from the West to the East coast of the United States and, as an illustrative case study, how these developments have played out for the East coast port of Jacksonville, Florida.","PeriodicalId":226080,"journal":{"name":"TransportRN: Port Terminals (Topic)","volume":"342 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2009-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124226606","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

{"title":"Economic Importance of the Belgian Ports: Flemish Maritime Ports and Liège Port Complex - Report 2005","authors":"F. Lagneaux","doi":"10.2139/ssrn.1687552","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.2139/ssrn.1687552","url":null,"abstract":"This paper is an annual publication issued by the Microeconomic Analysis service of the National Bank of Belgium. The Flemish maritime ports - Antwerp, Ghent, Ostend, Zeebrugge - and the Autonomous Port of Liège play a major role in their respective regional economies and in the Belgian economy, not only in terms of industrial activity but also as intermodal centres facilitating the commodity flow. This update paper provides an extensive overview of the economic importance and development of the Flemish maritime ports and the Liège port complex in the period 2000 - 2005, with an emphasis on 2005. Focusing on the three major variables of value added, employment and investment, the report also provides some information about the financial situation in each port. A global indication concerning the financial health of the companies studied is also provided. These observations are linked to a more general context, along with a few cargo statistics. Annual accounts data from the Central Balance Sheet Office were used for the calculation of direct effects, the study of financial ratios and the analysis of the social balance sheet. The indirect effects of the activities concerned were estimated in terms of value added and employment, on the basis of data from the National Accounts Institute. 2005 was a year of steady growth for most Flemish maritime ports, in terms of quantity of cargo handled and value added, although there was a slight deceleration in comparison to the previous year. The employment situation was, by contrast, somewhat mixed, while investment soared, far exceeding the pace recorded since 2000. The current changes in world trade patterns are having a substantial impact on the operations of the Flemish and Liège ports, situated at the heart of one of the wealthiest and busiest trading regions of the world. To cope with the accelerating internationalisation of port competition and the tremendous growth of containerised seaborne transport, the ports concerned need to constantly adapt their infrastructures, through innovation and investment. As major logistic centres, they have to face the challenge of responding to increasing demand in terms of capacity, while adding as much value as possible to the goods passing through them. Accessibility and seamless connections with the hinterland are key to their success and durability. This has become absolutely vital in a climate of growing regional and international competition, accentuated by the booming Asian economies. The port of Liège is striving to turn a threat into an opportunity. In the wake of the Cockerill Sambre blast furnace closure, the Liège port complex is undergoing a major restructuring. Cargo figures were down sharply in 2005, while the economic situation of the area was dominated by stagnation or decline in terms of value added, employment and investment. However, this fall could be shortlived since the revival expected from the development of value-added logistics will also gene","PeriodicalId":226080,"journal":{"name":"TransportRN: Port Terminals (Topic)","volume":"69 5","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2007-05-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"120996651","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

{"title":"Economic Importance of the Autonomous Port of Liège – Report 2002","authors":"F. Lagneaux","doi":"10.2139/SSRN.1691471","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.2139/SSRN.1691471","url":null,"abstract":"This paper provides an extensive overview of the economic importance and development of the Port Autonome de Liege, over the period 1997 - 2002. Focusing on the three major variables of value added, salaried employment and investment, it also provides information about the financial situation of some vital segments in this inland port. In addition, it includes figures with respect to the ongoing growth of several cargo traffic segments and attempts to establish a link between these and the progress of the production in the industries at stake. The breakthrough of this research - compared to its first edition issued last year - consists of evaluating the indirect effects of the sectors in question in terms of value added and employment. A few refinements have also been made, such as the routine geographical and functional selection of companies according to the cluster they belong to (NACE-Bel code approach), the limitation of administrative work incurred, the review of the company-size analysis, etc. Annual reports data from the Central Balance Sheet have been computed for the calculation of direct effects, the study of financial ratios and the analysis of the social balance sheet. For the estimation of indirect effects, Supply and Use Tables from the National Accounts Institute have been resorted to. The developments in inland ports are numerous nowadays, as a parallel to the ever congesting road networks and the growing maritime traffic (e.g. increase in containerized shipments). The Port Autonome de Liege is the second largest inland port in Europe and therefore plays an important role in the development of inland waterways and of their traffic. Moreover, as it is the case for the maritime ports, the increase in scale and specialization of the vessels inevitably impacts the operation of this port. Production, trade and transport are no longer considered as individual, isolated activities, but are integrated within a single system. Therefore, ports have to evolve from mere centres of transport (discharging and loading of vessels) to logistic centres. The Port Autonome de Liege is a very good example of this evolution as it offers high-quality connections with the railways, motorways and the Liege airport. Intermodality is a great asset for the Port Autonome de Liege and is the spearhead of its future.","PeriodicalId":226080,"journal":{"name":"TransportRN: Port Terminals (Topic)","volume":"23 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2004-11-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133392930","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
