PortEconomics co-director Peter de Langen wrote a policy report to help shape port policies in Brazil. The report ‘Productive Arrangements in Container Logistics: Policy Challenges for Granting Terminal Concessions’, was commissioned by the leading Brazilian terminal operator BTP, and written, in full independence, by Peter de Langen.
The two central issues that are addressed are first, how to deal with shipping line owned container terminal operators and second, how to prevent dominant market positions of terminal operators or, if this is not possible, how to prevent abuse of dominant market positions?
The report provides a general treatment of these themes and includes an epilogue that contains a provisional application to the Brazilian context.
The Policy Report is available to be freely downloaded via PortEconomics.
