Port competition has become a complex and multi-faceted concept due to changes in the market environment of ports and the resulting intensification of rivalry between operators in the same port, between neighbouring ports, between multi-port gateway regions and between entire port ranges. This chapter discusses port competition in Europe with a main focus on container ports and terminals. It provides an in-depth theoretical and empirical description of port competition in the second most important container port system in the world after Asia. The chapter aims to provide the reader with a clear insight on the current status, drivers and issues in European container port competition.
