With the soaring fuel costs modifying the general cost structure of ship management, shipowners running deep-sea services are being forced to reconsider the routeing of their vessels. Some geographical regions (and ports within those regions) appear to be gaining new spatial advantages in overall cargo flows because of this factor. This study looks at a methodological framework for a computer simulation analysis of these advantages by treating a specific example: that of second- and third-generation container vessels plying between the Far East and Europe. It tests the hypothesis that, on this particular route, the increase in fuel costs is tending to give a competitive edge to Mediterranean ports compared with those in north-western Europe.
