Safe and Sustainable Arctic Shipping Management and Development
Socio-economic impacts of shipping along the Northwest Passage
Arctic region
Cruise tourism in the Arctic has expanded due to an increase in ice melting. This can provide cruise services covering the growing demand for cruise shipping. This study analyzes the network structure and popular routes of Arctic cruise shipping in order to identify popular cruise ports and routes. An analysis conducted, using degree centrality and the weight of a link, identified that a small number of ports have high connections to others, whil…
Ferry services and the community development of peripheral island areas in Hong Kong
The history of Hong Kong ferry services began with the establishment of the colony of the British Empire after the Treaty of Nanking. The ferry system was the foundation of public transport in Hong Kong. This study adopts the concept of centre-periphery theory to explain how ferry services facilitate regional integration in Hong Kong, notably on Outlying Islands, and describe how better transportation influenced the course of development of the c…

Competing institutional logics and institutional erosion in environmental governance of maritime transport
This paper explores the process of deinstitutionalization of maritime transport governance due to competing institutional logics. The sector continues to operate with a business-as-usual logic while simultaneously paying lip service to a logic of sustainability. The key regulator of the sector, the International Maritime Organization (IMO), attempts to bring in stricter environmental legislation, but the dominant logic will not allow these develo…
A critical review on the evolution and development of inland port research
The impacts of major government initiatives on the development of dry ports
Between geography and transport
Implications of climate change for shipping
Ports are an important economic actor—at local, national, and international scales—that have been identified as being vulnerable to future changes to the climate. This paper details the findings from an international review of state‐of‐the‐art knowledge concerning climate risks, and adaptation responses, for ports and their supply chains. Evidence from both academic and gray literature indicates that there has already been major damage and disrup…
Implications of climate change for shipping
This paper assesses the value and environmental feasibility of Arctic shipping by reviewing the relevant scientific and economic peer‐reviewed literature. From the physical perspective, this paper examines the impact of climate change on sea ice and marine weather and considers the resultant consequences for Arctic shipping accessibility. From an economic perspective, it reviews the major research investigating the economic feasibility of diverti…
A conceptual overview on government initiatives and the transformation of transport and regional systems
A critical review of the evolution of the Maritime Code in the People's Republic of China
It is well documented that the People's Republic of China has taken a critical role in influencing contemporary maritime development. An investigation into the historical evolution of Chinese Maritime Law after 1949 would help to fill the research gap and assist maritime scholars and human geographers in general in evaluating the influence of the Chinese legal institutions. Indeed, it took about 40 years for China to formulate the 1993 Maritime C…
Port geography at the crossroads with human geography
The changing tides of port geography (1950–2012)
Human geographers actively studied ports in past decades. However, the extent to which port geography constituted a specific research stream within human geography remained largely unanswered. By reviewing 399 port papers published in major geography journals, the authors critically investigated the trends and changing tides of port geography research. The findings point out the emergence of the core community shifting from mainstream geography r…
Institutions, bureaucratic and logistical roles of dry ports
The Geographical Connectedness of Chinese Seaports With Foreland Markets
This paper analyses the geographical connectedness of Chinese container ports with international foreland markets. Simulated results indicate that the hub‐and‐spoke network only forms part of the overall picture, where several different layers with diversified strategies can be statistically identified within the Chinese seaport hierarchical system. This paper addresses the question of whether there are alternatives for non‐hub seaports within an…
Locational Characteristics of Dry Ports in Developing Economies
Ng A. K. Y. and Cetin I. B. Locational characteristics of dry ports in developing economies: some lessons from Northern India, Regional Studies . Contemporary economic development has triggered the importance of establishing distribution centres at appropriate locations in developing economies. However, so far, academic studies addressing this issue are rather scarce. Hence, by investigating dry ports within two industrial clusters in Northern In…
The Transportation Sector of India's Economy
Two East Asian specialists review the development of dry ports in India as part of a broader national program to eliminate transportation bottlenecks, improve transport efficiency, and spur the economic development of interior regions by lowering road and rail freight tariffs, and thus decreasing the costs of imports (and making exports more competitive). A key focus is on comparing the relative efficiency of public- versus private-sector operati…
Port Governance Reforms in Diversified Institutional Frameworks
Bringing in neo-institutional perspectives, this paper investigates the recent corporatisation process of three seaports in Asia and Europe. We focus on whether the newly established seaport governance structures follow a path largely affected by the local/national institutional frameworks and the political traditions in place. Findings confirm that path-dependent decisions largely preserve the institutional characteristics of local/national syst…
