Based on in-depth empirical research, this book develops our understanding of maritime transport costs, the maritime industry and the competitiveness of regions in a global market environment through a geographical lens. Further, the book uses a unique set of data that gives an extensive insight into Latin American international maritime transport costs and its determinants. This is a clear call for policy makers and port authorities to strengthen transnational cooperation in order to improve the development of the whole system of maritime transport, focusing on the causes that put regions at risk of becoming peripheral and uncompetitive.

Reviews for International Maritime Transport Costs: Market Structures and Network Configurations

'The globalization of trade makes maritime transportation a remarkably important derived service in the world economy. Gordon Wilmsmeier analyses the most crucial factors that explain the complexity of maritime transport costs over the last decades in Latin America, a region that is highly dependent on maritime trade, and evaluates its relative importance using a comprehensive empirical approach which is clear, path-breaking and up-to-date.'Inmaculada Martinez-Zarzoso, University of Goettingen, Germany and University Jaume I, Spain
