Policy options for arfctic environment governance shippingDr Lendy Spires
Increased shipping in the Arctic is being driven by natural resource development, tourism, and scientific research. Sea ice is declining rapidly and new shipping routes are opening up, but Arctic infrastructure and governance have not kept pace. Key policy options to improve Arctic shipping governance and safety include strengthening existing voluntary Arctic shipping guidelines at the IMO, implementing the recommendations of the Arctic Council's Arctic Marine Shipping Assessment, improving Arctic search and rescue capabilities, and expanding infrastructure and environmental monitoring in the Arctic.
This document provides an overview of key findings from a capstone project on challenges and opportunities for oil and gas investment in the Arctic. It outlines three scenarios for Arctic development - best case, worst case, and medium case - depending on Shell's exploration success. It also summarizes national developments and interests in the Arctic for countries like Russia, the US, Canada, and Norway. Environmental issues and regulations governing Arctic drilling are discussed. Finally, it outlines the potential for increased shipping routes through the Arctic as sea ice recedes.

Public-Private Partnerships In Ocean Sustainability: Industry Leadership and...Iwl Pcu
The document discusses public-private partnerships for ocean sustainability through industry leadership and collaboration. It outlines the diverse ocean business community and growing ocean uses. The World Ocean Council is highlighted as an international alliance bringing together ocean industries to address sustainability challenges through corporate responsibility. Key priorities discussed include ocean governance, marine spatial planning, reducing environmental impacts of operations, forming regional ocean councils, collecting data through vessels and platforms, and adapting to sea level rise and extreme weather.

Every day, thousands of ships across the world cross the seas to trade. Although trading cargo at sea is more cost-effective than land and air, it is also riskier due to shipping accidents and rough weather.
Ambassador Corell The Arctic, A Legal Perspectivewarrenedge
The document provides an overview of the legal regime in the Arctic. It notes some disputes over maritime boundaries and jurisdiction. It argues there is a need for regulation of navigation, search and rescue, fisheries, oil and gas extraction, and environmental protection. It sees an opportunity for Arctic states to cooperate and demonstrate statesmanship in addressing shared challenges in the region.
Report of the expert workshop on 11 12 september 2008Dr Lendy Spires
- The document summarizes key insights from an expert workshop on policy options for addressing rapid changes in the Arctic marine environment.
- Participants agreed that current research and monitoring efforts are inadequate and lack coordination. International cooperation is needed.
- Existing Arctic governance is fragmented and does not adequately address challenges like increasing shipping, resource extraction, and effects on indigenous communities.
- Options for improved governance include strengthening existing frameworks like the Arctic Council or adopting a new comprehensive international agreement.
Due to climate change the ice-belt is melting. It will change the environment and open up for a new route for sea trade. The Arctic is a very fragile environment and I discuss the possibility to use a counterbalance fee based on the expected increased cargo ships that will enter and pass the Arctic Ocean. The fee will be used for measures to preservation of the environment and to implement clean tech in ports and at those cargo ships that frequently will use this route.

This document discusses emissions from shipping and potential solutions. It notes that shipping accounts for over 1 billion metric tons of CO2 emissions annually and will exceed 2 billion tons by 2015. It also emits 20 million tons of SOx and 37 million tons of NOx each year. Installing scrubbers could reduce SOx by 99% and NOx and particulate matter by 85% for a cost of $50 billion, while switching to distillate fuels would cost $250 billion and take 20 years to implement fully. The document argues that scrubbers are a more cost effective near term solution to reducing shipping emissions compared to using distillate fuels.
The Arctic is not the northernmost equivalent of the next frontier, waiting to be conquered by those desperate for resources. Governments and businesses need to address five key challenges in order to achieve sustainable economic development in the region.
Clifton Hasegawa wrote a letter to Commissioner Maria Damanaki of the European Commission regarding her remarks on Arctic futures and global partnership for the Arctic. Hasegawa advocates for a cautious approach to oil exploration in the Arctic that considers environmental impacts. He is concerned that increased deepwater drilling could disturb undersea plates and slopes, potentially contributing to climate change through seismic activity. The impacts of such drilling could have far-reaching consequences around the world given the connections between tectonic plates and volcanic activity.
This document discusses declining oil and gas development in the Arctic and opportunities to improve governance and pollution control. It summarizes that:
1) While the Arctic is rich in hydrocarbon resources, recent low oil prices and technical challenges have curbed interest in Arctic drilling. However, a rise in prices could spark renewed interest and unacceptable pollution risks.
2) Current international frameworks for Arctic governance may be inadequate to handle pollution if offshore drilling returns, as protocols developed for lower latitudes are insufficient given the Arctic's unique conditions.
3) The document analyzes pollution abatement techniques required by Arctic nations and identifies opportunities to strengthen regulations to protect the Arctic environment if interest in drilling resumes.
This document discusses oil spills and their effects on the environment. It provides background on major oil spills such as the Exxon Valdez and Deepwater Horizon incidents. Oil spills can have devastating short and long-term impacts on ecosystems by killing wildlife, damaging habitats, and disrupting the food chain. They also harm the economy through lost industries like fishing and tourism. The document outlines different cleanup methods and their drawbacks. While response efforts have improved, more needs to be done to prevent spills and minimize environmental damage through better regulations and preparedness.
The case study examines the economic benefits and environmental costs of coastal development around the Great Barrier Reef in Australia. It identifies issues like pollution, climate change, overfishing, and shipping that threaten the reef. The reef provides significant economic benefits through tourism, which is valued at over $1 billion per year and supports activities like fishing. However, various stakeholders have conflicting interests, as shown in the conflict matrix. The reef also has high environmental and ecological value due to its biodiversity.
The document discusses several topics related to ports, offshore wind energy, and sustainability:
1) The Ports of Amsterdam and IJmuiden have joined forces under AYOP to develop the area for offshore wind business and other offshore industries like oil/gas. AYOP also functions as a cable hub.
2) Onshore power supply (OPS) was discussed at a seminar. OPS can improve port sustainability by eliminating ship emissions while in port. Batteries may provide an alternative to traditional OPS infrastructure by supplying power at lower cost.
3) Energy storage could reduce fuel consumption in equipment like RTG cranes by 70% and payback in under two years. Integrated solar

The document discusses mechanisms used by an oil and gas company in Yemen to implement partnership projects with local communities affected by its operations. It summarizes the company's efforts to establish a marine exclusion zone for security reasons around its oil terminal, which restricted local fishing. To compensate, the company proposed and evaluated alternatives to enhance fishing outside the zone, including artificial reefs and fish aggregation devices, but the fishing community opposed simple shipping container reefs that provided little local collaboration.
1. The document discusses strengths and weaknesses in maritime risk assessments. It notes that while risk assessments provide structure, they involve simplifications and limited data that affect accuracy.
2. Early risk management involved regulations like bans on winter sailing and strict ship loading rules, showing risk assessment is not new but has evolved.
3. Human factors are significant in accidents but difficult to assess, and models have limitations in estimating probabilities and consequences given changing conditions.

The document discusses various sources of waste discharge from offshore oil and gas activities and their potential impacts. It covers waste from drilling activities like drilling muds and cuttings, produced water, emissions from production and processing. Seismic surveys are also mentioned as a source of underwater noise that can harm marine life. The objectives are to protect the environment, ecosystems, and endangered species while preventing toxic discharge into the oceans from offshore oil and gas operations.
The document discusses various topics related to coasts, estuaries, and environmental issues. It provides information on different types of estuaries, the importance of estuaries and coastal zones. It also discusses issues like climate change, pollution, toxins, oil spills, marine debris, and different types of beaches. The document contains numerous links to additional resources on these topics.
Autonomous Marine Systems, A Driver of Growth in the Blue EconomyGregory Yovanof
Currently, an industrial revolution is unfolding under the seas. Rapid progress in the development of autonomous systems, robotics, maritime surveillance, satellite systems, AI, and data science are opening up whole new sectors of ocean use and research.
The document discusses how the Arctic is warming rapidly due to climate change, with air and ocean temperatures rising and sea ice, snow cover, and glaciers melting. This warming is amplifying other effects like changes to the global ocean circulation system and increased sea level rise from Greenland ice sheet melting. It also notes that while Arctic ecosystems currently absorb carbon, this will likely change as warming causes more carbon release from lands and oceans. The document argues against oil and gas exploration in Norway's Lofoten islands, noting the area's globally significant wildlife and that nature there is worth more economically than the oil. It says current oil spill response plans are insufficient for the Arctic and accidents are inevitable. The document calls for protecting priority nature areas
Blue economy and coastal management in the coming DecadeCINEC Campus
This document discusses the blue economy and coastal management over the coming decade. It defines the blue economy as an ocean-based economic model largely dependent on coastal and marine ecosystems. The ocean covers most of the planet and supports billions of livelihoods and species. However, as much as 40% is heavily affected by human activities like pollution, overfishing, and habitat loss. The document outlines various ocean-based and ocean-related economic activities and new industries in the blue economy. It also discusses threats like pollution, overexploitation of resources, and the need for sustainable management of ocean resources and ecosystems in the coming decade to ensure continued benefits from the blue economy.
От пятого до шестого оценочного цикла с упоромна Специальный доклад по океану...ipcc-media
The document summarizes the key points about the IPCC Special Report on the Ocean and Cryosphere in a Changing Climate (SROCC). It notes that the ocean and cryosphere play important roles in regulating climate and supporting life. However, both are changing rapidly due to climate change, such as sea level rise, ocean warming, and loss of sea ice and glaciers. The SROCC will provide an assessment of these changes, their impacts, and options for adaptation and resilience. It will involve scientists from many countries and undergo several drafts and reviews over its timeline from 2017-2019.
This document provides an overview of marine protected area (MPA) networks around the world and in the UK. International case studies of MPA networks in West Hawaii, Australia, the Chagos Islands, and South Africa demonstrate a range of MPA types and functions. The development of the UK MPA network is still ongoing, with sites being identified and key organizations like the new Marine Management Organization and agencies in England and Scotland working to establish the network and management plans.

Write a one page paper (double spaced) describing and discussing the.docxedgar6wallace88877
Write a one page paper (double spaced) describing and discussing the following ethical concepts found in chapter 1; logical, factual and normative. You may use definitions or scenarios in your writing. The goal of this paper is to gain a level of understanding of all three (logical, factual and normative).
Textbook:
1.
Logical, or formal, statements
are definitions or statements derivable from
definitions, including the entirety of mathematical discourse (e.g., “2
+
2
=
4,”
or “A square has four equal sides”). Such statements can be
verified by a for
-
mal procedure
(“recourse to arithmetic”) derived from the same definitions
that control the rest of the terms of the field in question (i.e., the same axioms
define “2,” “4,” and the procedure of “addition”; the four equal sides and right
angles define the “square”). True formal statements are
analytic
:
they are true
logically, necessarily, or by the definitions of the terms
. False statements in
this category are
self–contradictory
. (If you say, “2
+
2
=
5,” or start talking
about “round squares,” you contradict yourself, for you assert that which can-
not possibly be so—you conjoin ideas that are incompatible). A logically true
or logically valid statement can never be false, or disproved by any discovery
of facts; it will never be the case that some particular pairs of 2 do not add up
to 4, or some particular squares turn out to be circular—and if you think you’ve
found such a case, you’re wrong! “2
+
2
=
4” is true, and squares are equi-
lateral rectangles, as philosophers like to say,
in all possible worlds
. For this
reason we say that these statements are “
true a priori
”: we can know them to
be correct prior to any examination of the facts of the world, without having to
count up lots of pairs of pairs, just to make sure that 2
+
2 really equals 4.
2.
Factual, or empirical, statements
are assertions about the world out there, the
physical environment of our existence, including the entirety of scientific dis-
course, from theoretical physics to sociology. Such statements are
verifiable by
controlled observation
(“recourse to measurement,” “recourse to weighing”)
of that world, by experiment or just by careful looking, listening, touching,
smelling, or tasting. This is the world of our senses, the world of space, objects,
time and causation. These empirical statements are called
synthetic,
for they
“put together” in a new combination two ideas that do not initially include or
entail each other. As a result they cannot be known a priori, but can be deter
-
mined only
a posteriori, that is, after investigation of the world
. When they
are true, they are
true only contingently, or dependently, as oppo.

Write a one page dialogue in which two characters are arguing but are speaking every thought, every iteration of subtext. Then go back and cut the dialogue so that no line is longer than five words without losing any of the meaning.
1. I'd like for you to submit both versions of your dialog.
The first version (with all the subtext written out) and the second version (with only 5 words per line.)
2. Be sure to write it in dialog format.
That means it should look like the plays in our text--
James: Starting with the character's name?
Carrie: And with little or no narration outside of the dialog?
Prof.: Yes to both questions!
3. Notice how little narration / stage direction there is in most of the sample dialogs.
Your dialog should be almost entirely dialog!
Try to resist the urge to get carried away explaining every little detail of what the characters are doing.
And resist the urge to add modifiers like (angrily) (with great emotion) (etc.) before each line of dialog.
You want to put everything into the dialog itself-- the emotion should be obvious from what the characters say!

THE SACRIFICE HOW PRO-PALESTINE PROTESTS STUDENTS ARE SACRIFICING TO CHANGE T...indexPub
The recent surge in pro-Palestine student activism has prompted significant responses from universities, ranging from negotiations and divestment commitments to increased transparency about investments in companies supporting the war on Gaza. This activism has led to the cessation of student encampments but also highlighted the substantial sacrifices made by students, including academic disruptions and personal risks. The primary drivers of these protests are poor university administration, lack of transparency, and inadequate communication between officials and students. This study examines the profound emotional, psychological, and professional impacts on students engaged in pro-Palestine protests, focusing on Generation Z's (Gen-Z) activism dynamics. This paper explores the significant sacrifices made by these students and even the professors supporting the pro-Palestine movement, with a focus on recent global movements. Through an in-depth analysis of printed and electronic media, the study examines the impacts of these sacrifices on the academic and personal lives of those involved. The paper highlights examples from various universities, demonstrating student activism's long-term and short-term effects, including disciplinary actions, social backlash, and career implications. The researchers also explore the broader implications of student sacrifices. The findings reveal that these sacrifices are driven by a profound commitment to justice and human rights, and are influenced by the increasing availability of information, peer interactions, and personal convictions. The study also discusses the broader implications of this activism, comparing it to historical precedents and assessing its potential to influence policy and public opinion. The emotional and psychological toll on student activists is significant, but their sense of purpose and community support mitigates some of these challenges. However, the researchers call for acknowledging the broader Impact of these sacrifices on the future global movement of FreePalestine.

Accidental releases of oil have negative consequences on the
marine environment.
Need to prepare for emergency control and mitigation of oil
spills.
Countermeasures can only be implemented effectively if the fate
and transport is better understood.
Environmental risk assessment: requires fate and transport
models.

Mainly looking from the institutional perspectives (how
institutional and political factors have shaped the planning and
development of the project)
The CCW project prompted (forced) a number of ‘paradigm
shifts’ in infrastructure planning by the Manitoba Provincial
Government (MPG), which were unpredecented in Manitoba

Conclusion
10
The CCW Project: The Origins and Idea
The traditional industrial district of Winnipeg was concentrated
in the Northwestern part
Since the 1970s, there had been discussions on relieving
congestion and improve mobility for Inkster Blvd. and
Provincial Highway 221 (PR221) which were, by then, the only
access to the Perimeter Highway (PTH101)
This was not surprising, as the idea of establishing CentrePort
Canada (‘CentrePort’) was only initiated by the MPG in 2008,
after the idea of the CCW project began to take root.
The question: why suddenly a change of heart by MPG?
28. 11
The CCW Project: The Origins and Idea
The original ideas became obsolete since the mid-2000s…
The Asia-Pacific Gateway and Corridor Initiative (APGCI)
(initiated by the Martin Government through the Pacific
Gateway Act, Bill C-68, October 2005; further promoted by the
Harper Government in 2007)
It was the very first time that the concept has been transformed
from a ‘regional’ (mainly British Columbia and Alberta) to a
‘national initiative’
12
The CCW Project: The Origins and Idea
Potential Impacts on Manitoba:
It offers a valuable opportunity to Manitoba to ‘get connected’
with the world through international trade (to transform from an
inland, regional region to an international inland hub in Canada,
or even North America)
29. How can Manitoba, and not (just) other provinces, gain from
-provincial
competition
This was not helped by the ‘single-location’ strategy undertaken
by MPG and other Canadian provincial governments
13
The CCW Project: The Origins and Idea
What did the MPG decide/need to do?
The establishment of ‘CentrePort’ (an inland port)
The rapid installation of infrastructures to connect CentrePort
with the major transport networks in Canada (especially the
TCH and Provincial Trunk Highway 75 (PTH75) connecting to
the US), so as to (1) reduce transport and logistics costs; and
thus (2) enhance the competitiveness of CentrePort

such objectives…

The CCW Project: The Origins and Idea
There were other (secondary) considerations:
The proximity of the Winnipeg airport (as an aviation hub)
Social and environmental issues (like reducing air pollution and
traffic flows along the Saskatchewan Avenue)
The need to construct (more) road-rail grade separations in the
original plan (higher costs for the original plan)

The CCW Project: The Origins and Idea
The CCW Project: The Origins and Idea
A revised proposal would look more appealing to the Federal
Government for funding
The first ‘paradigm shift’: proposed actions (as reflected in the
funding proposal), and later the functional design, were built
upon (sometimes more hypothetical) economic (e.g., forecasts
in regional economic development, figures international trade,
etc.) rather than (empirical) engineering indicators (e.g., traffic
flows, mobility, etc.))
Although the Federal Government was not completely happy
with the proposal (mainly due to the lack of a strategy to
inscribe rail into the project), but they decided to support the
project due to the MPG’s ‘trade-based’ strategy, and willingness
32. to commit resources on the APGCI.

The CCW Project: The Origins and Idea

The second ‘paradigm shift’: after the CCW project, MPG starts
to develop ‘shovel-ready’ proposals dedicated for funding
application from the Federal Government.
It implied that the direction of infrastructure planning in
Manitoba gradually moved upwards towards ‘national
objectives’ (note: the CCW itself was actually a ‘provincial’
project)

The CCW Project: Planning and Construction
However, the Federal Government’s funding on the CCW
project would only last for 5 years (in other words, the MPG
would bear all the financial consequences for any delays)
Traditionally, all infrastructure projects in Manitoba were
planned and constructed via the Design-Bid-Build (DBB)
approach (which usually lasted for 6-7 years)
cost of the latter stages, like construction (‘build’), was often
much higher than the ‘design’ stage), was usually higher
The political pressure to get it done as quickly as possible due
to regional competition (must build ‘faster than Regina (SK),
Calgary (AB), etc.’)
21
34. The CCW Project: Planning and Construction
The third ‘paradigm shift’: the design-build (DB) approach.
The contractors were responsible to design and build the
infrastructure, based on their past experiences, techniques and
know-how.
For instance, quoting Hugh Munro Construction Ltd. (one of the
contractors of the CCW project): “the project involved the
design and build of grade separations for the CCW
transportation corridor.” (source: hmcl.ca)

The CCW Project: Planning and Construction
Given the lack of precedence, the use of DB approach caused
substantial uncertainties on how to proceed, especially in view
of such a tight deadline (5 years).
The interactions between institutions (the Federal Govt. and the
MPG) had created ‘institutional uncertainties’.
35. Institutions were established to reduce uncertainties and chaos
through the creation of ‘normalities’ and ‘procedures’ (rather
than innovation). In facing uncertainties that an institution
(MPG) had to solve, how did they deal with it?
23
The CCW Project: Planning and Construction
So, what did the MPG (through the Manitoba Infrastructure and
Transportation (MIT) do?
The MIT communicated with Alberta, of which during that time
they were also involved in a DB project, namely the Stony Plain
Road/Anthony Henday Drive Interchange Project
For instance, the MIT actually developed the DB contract for
their project contractors based on a public private partnership
(PPP) contract from Alberta.
The primary approach of solving institutional uncertainties by
institutions was to find alternative ‘certainties’ so as to blanket
such uncertainties.
24
36. The CCW Project: Planning and Construction
The consequences (the positive side):
The ‘design and bidding’ stage became much quicker (only took
about 12 months from call for proposals to signing contracts
with contractors). Most of the time was used on construction.
The project was indeed completed within 5 years (and opened in
November 2013)
25
The CCW Project: Planning and Construction
The deficiencies and challenges:
Quality assurance (QA) and quality control (QC) became much
more difficult to maintain.
The dilemma from MPG/MIT: how should they impose control
(like closed down the construction at some points), but faced
the risks of delays, and possible claims from contractors later?
26
37. The CCW Project: Planning and Construction
The deficiencies and challenges:
Clear priorities were placed on the ‘tangible’ items, i.e., the
physical construction, while the ‘soft’ side of the project had
been seriously lagging behind.
In some ways, the MPG retracted from its traditional role as the
focal point of the infrastructure project, sometimes leaving
contractors a bit ‘lost’ on the planning and construction process.
For instance, at the time when the CCW was opened (and
vehicles started to flow), some documents/permits (like the
RTAC and LCV permitted route status) had not been obtained.
ents happen?
27
The CCW Project: Planning and Construction
A matter of political risk calculation?
“Compared to allowing a million-dollar project to be completed
but could not be used, ignoring those ‘silly’ safety standards
and paper works were trivial.”
“Would you allow such ‘silly’ things to trump against the long-
term competitiveness of CentrePort and Manitoba?”
38. One thing for sure: the planning approach by the MPG became
much more ‘single-target-oriented’, duly forced by institutional
and political pressure.

Conclusion
29
Conclusion
To a large extent, the CCW project was politically- and
institutionally-driven
39. Inter-institutional dynamics had created ‘institutional
uncertainties’, which caused a number of ‘paradigm shifts’ in
infrastructure planning in Manitoba
The primary approach was to find alternative ‘certainties’ so as
to blanket such uncertainties.
There were signs that the MPG retracted from the traditional
role as the focal point of the project, and became more ‘single-
target-oriented’ in the planning approach.
30
Conclusion
It has certainly created a new alternative for infrastructure
planning in Manitoba (and likely to increase in the future)
Is it the appropriate approach? How to address the challenges
and deficiencies?
To what extent is the ‘upward direction’ (towards national
initiative) beneficial for Manitoba?

Tradition and New Circumstances
Why port policy matters?
Traditionally, government policies often reflected
such a keen interest in port operation, management
and development
National
Regional/Local
(Supra-national was non-existent)
Tradition and New Circumstances
Importance of Ports:
‘Strategic asset’ of a country/region
42. Many ports were rooted from serving military purpose
e.g. Le Havre, Tianjin
Income Source/‘Cash-Cows’ for the city/
surrounding region
e.g. Venice, Hamburg
Tradition and New Circumstances
Importance of Ports:
Base for infiltrating into raw material sources/colonies
e.g. Hong Kong, Accra, New York
Ports were actually important components in
complementing maritime power
Tradition and New Circumstances
As a big employer, there were a lot of people working
in ports, thus often giving a strong interest group
within the society
Source of Conflict:
Tradition and New Circumstances
Characteristics of Traditional Port Policies:
Strong Public Sector Influence, in both operation
and regulatory functions
Little Consideration to Efficiency & Service Quality
> Manual Cargo Loading/Unloading
> Lack of Port Competition
> Natural Hinterland
> Non-Hub-&-Spoke: large no. of port calls
Heavy Subsidies to Ports (notably in European ports)
Tradition and New Circumstances
43. Changing Circumstances and Port Policy:

Hub-and-Spoke and Logistical Supply Chain
Intensification of Port Competition
Globalization and Regional Integration
Terrorism and Security Issues
Tradition and New Circumstances
New Demands for Ports:
Efficiency became much more important
Fewer ports being called: competition intensified
Logistical supply chain: changing relation between
port and city/surrounding region
Globalization and Regional Integration: Is national
or regional/local policies alone enough?
Tradition and New Circumstances
Traditional equipment/system became outdated
Bureaucracy and Administrative Inefficiency

46. Port Policy in the United States
De/Recentralization
Traditional Decentralized System of the US
(at least before the New Deal of the 1930s)
Free Enterprises
State/Regional/Local Control
Laissez-faire
De/Recentralization
Port Preference Clause of the US Constitution
(Article 1, Section 9, Clause 6)
No tax/duties shall be laid on articles (cargoes) exported
from any state
No preference should be given by any regulation/revenue to
the ports of one state over those of another
Vessels shall not be bounded to/from one state be obliged to
enter, clear/pay duties in another
De/Recentralization
47. Implications:
Federal government should not carrying out
policies/investments
favouring particular port(s)
The exercise of government policy affecting ports was legally
mandated to be free from competitive/discriminatory bias
Traditionally laissez-faire approach in port policies
Highly decentralized and cautious port policies
(to avoid being accused of “federal favouritism”)
De/Recentralization
Dredging of Channels:
Federal Government:
> Only finance major water channels with no clear access to
particular port(s) (technically constructed and maintained
by the US Army Corps of Engineers)
Local Government:
> Berths and immediate water channels surrounding the port
State/Regional/Local Government(s):
> Port’s land infrastructure
> Superstructure usually provided by private sectors
De/Recentralization
A National Port Plan never exists…
48. According to the Report Port Development in the US, written
by Schenker (Chairman of the Panel on the Future Port
Requirements of the US) in 1976, it concluded that a national
port plan was ‘politically unrealistic and economically
unacceptable
in a free, competitive society functioning under the constraints
of the marketplace…’
Port affairs, including investments, financing and subsidies
were all State/Regional/Local affairs
De/Recentralization
The “Yes” Camp:
Destructive Competition and wasting taxpayers’ money, as all
ports would invest their own facilities and create excessive
capacitiesCan local authorities make the right decisions on
issues affecting national interests?
The “No” Camp:
Adaptability and Innovation to new demands of shipping lines
and shippersNational authorities often don’t understand
local/regional needs
With changing circumstances, should the federal government
play a more prominent role (like national port plan)?
De/Recentralization
De/Recentralization
To deal with Increased Port Security, should the Federal
Government controls who operate Ports & Terminals in the US?

Private Sector Practices or Private Participation?
What type of port activities should public/private
sector be involved in?

What are the options?
What are the strategies & tools?
What are the implications?
Public Private Partnership
Major Options…
51. Service Port
Tool Port
Landlord Port
Fully Privatized Port
Public Private Partnership
Service Port: The Port Authority provides/manages all
services to vessels and cargoes, owns and operates every
single port asset and fulfils all regulatory functions.
Examples: Aden (Yemen),
Public Private Partnership
Tool Port: The Port Authority owns the infrastructure,
superstructure and heavy equipment, rents it to operators
and retains all regulatory functions. However, commercial
operation is given to private operators, usually through
outsourcing or management contracts.
Examples: Le Havre
Public Private Partnership
Landlord (Partially Privatized) Port: The Port Authority
owns basic infrastructure, land and access and protection
assets, and leases them out to operators, mostly on a long
term concession basis, while retaining most, if not all,
regulatory functions. Private operators are usually expected
to finance their own superstructure and heavy equipment.
Examples: Rotterdam, Antwerp, Shanghai, Shenzhen,
52. Public Private Partnership
Fully Privatized Port: The Public Sector does not play any
role in the operation of the port nor ownership of any port-
related assets (most notably land).
Examples: Felixstowe, Hong Kong

Most assets transferred to the private company
Public Private Partnership
Definition of Privatization: the transfer of ownership
of assets from the public to the private sector or the
application of private capital to fund investments in port
facilities, equipment and systems (UNCTD, 1998)
Public Private Partnership
Partial Privatization
Comprehensive Privatization
Superstructure and infrastructure transferred to the
private company (or invested by the company). The company
often also operates the terminal (and reliable for its own
profits/earnings)
Public sector keeps land and public functions (like quay wall)
Public sector, in many cases, also owns the terminal
The sale of entire port to a private company
If the company decides to sell the port to developer with
no interest in port development/management, it can imply
the end of the port

activities to private companies
Time period: 3 to 5 years (in some cases, longer)
Operator never owns the terminal (or even super-
and infrastructure)
Contract renewal usually possible, depending on
circumstances and negotiations
Public Private Partnership
56. Concession Arrangements:
Build, Operate, Transfer (BOT)
Build, Own, Operate, Transfer (BOOT)
Time period: 20 – 50 years
After this agreed period, operator is obliged
to return the terminal to the public sector
Public Private Partnership
Build, Own, Operate (BOO)
Full Privatization (of Terminal):
Terminal owned by the operator
No obligations to return the terminal (and its
facilities) to the public sector
Public Private Partnership
Criticisms of the Port Reform Pendulum:
Focused on enhancing port efficiency
Largely neglect the impacts of port competition
Public sector = only public duties?
How about the commercial tasks about ‘ports’
(apart from ‘terminals’)?

57. Institutional Reform
Port authorities share basic public functions but re-assess their
traditional “authority” role in view of common
challenges:Mediating role of port authorities between
commercial interest, local stakeholders and
governmentNetworking capabilities of port authoritiesPort
authorities as active players in the supply chain
Institutional reform takes place in many ports – greater
autonomy and more independence from (central / local)
government
Commercialization and corporatisation of port authorities
