Seaport competition is very much talked about, but seldom is it thought about deeply. There is hardly any literature on the subject. It is usually referred to in rather general terms such as ‘the ’ competitive position of port X, ‘the ’ competition between port X and Y and ‘the ’ competition in port Y.

    In this article the author points out that seaport competition has a complex nature and that, because of this complexity, it is inappropriate to speak of ‘the ’ competition. Great care and clarity are necessary to identify and classify this competition.

    Special attention is paid to the role of public authorities in port administration and management, and the policies pursued by them in Western European countries in relation to port competition. Also, the thoughts of the Parliament of the European Community with regard to a common seaport policy are briefly outlined.
