PortEconomics co-director Peter de Langen discusses whether ‘ports should spread their wings’ in his Analyst viewpoint column published in the magazine Port Strategy.
Peter analyses why “ports may benefit from understanding their potential to grow ‘non-maritime revenues’, and wents further to conclude that “While port authorities will probably never reach the non-aeronautical revenues shares of airports, the potential may be too large to ignore – especially as it may contribute to a more competitive proposition for shipping lines and cargo owners”.
