The course analyses the contemporary port industry and how seaports and their terminals are organized and managed to serve the global economy and regional and local development needs. It uses a conceptual background supported by extensive fieldwork and empirical observations to investigate how the port industry is evolving in the context of the international environment, the changing trends in transport, trade and logistics, the parameters determining the organization of modern ports, and the provision of port services, the principles and forms of port competition, the implications of port integration in supply chains, the structures of modern port governance, the formats of private and public sectors, and the measurements of port performance. It concludes with a review of key developments and the principles of management and governance. Theoretical concepts are linked with practical, real case examples, and when applicable, case exercises are part of the course material.
