Sommario/riassunto

How can the benefits of maritime trade be increased for the companies and institutions directly involved as well as the port city-regions where the transfers take place? Tackling this question, the authors of this volume put into perspective the reality, opportunities and challenges facing seaport gateways and corridors, now and in the future.
