Port Economics

Three different types of port studies: Multi dimensional analysis of the port systems of a particular country or region through combined SWOT/SOAR and PEST analyses; Comparative analysis of the port systems of a particular country or region with another country or region's port systems; In-depth comparative analysis of a specific port against its main competitors in neighboring countries or regions. 

Ship-Port Economics

A unique integrated analysis of shipping services and ports that looks at the shipping companies' itineraries calling at the particular ports of a country or region and at the ports themselves. The analysis splits the shipping itineraries between main routes and feeder ones to or from neighboring ports. The studies reveal port connectivity and port competitiveness since freight rates between ports are also considered.
