The definitive academic treatment of port economics and port management, combining economic theory with empirical analysis of port operations, governance structures, hinterland connectivity, and the competitive dynamics of the global port industry. Port Economics, Management and Policy provides the conceptual tools for analysing ports as logistics nodes rather than just physical infrastructure — how cargo flows, pricing, land use, and governance interact to determine whether a port generates value for its hinterland or concentrates it at the quayside. Essential background for anyone designing a CO₂ hub that needs to understand how port economics will shape the commercial viability of shared infrastructure.
