Port Expansion

This chapter examines in depth the Port of Liverpool, and the nature of its trade as of 1905. It begins by considering the physical condition of the port, detailing the expansions and renovations that enabled the accommodation of steamships. It contrasts the financial successes of Kings and Queens docks with the rest of the port, which fared less successfully. Further time is devoted to exploring the actions of the Mersey Docks and Harbour Board during the time of port expansion. Overall, despite several successes and a wide variety of trades, the Port of Liverpool in 1905 was suffering from the financial cost of expansion, poor cotton, woodwork, and clothing trade, and increasing competition from Southampton and the Manchester Ship Canal.

Subject West Africa ports development. Significance Economic growth and rising trade volumes with Asian countries are straining West Africa's commercial port capacities. Various port infrastructure projects are underway as states compete to become shipping gateways for the region. Ever larger container ships are also forcing states to offer deeper water berth ports. Ivory Coast, Ghana and Nigeria are leading the race. Impacts Low oil prices should not affect port expansion as the costs are borne by competing private sector operators. The question of whether the operator-driven port model delivers equivalent benefits to individual economies will grow as profits rise. European private sector port operators continue to dominate, but competition from Asian companies such as DP World is growing.

Subject Logistics performance. Significance Morocco's aspiration to become a trade and industrial hub for the Atlantic and Mediterranean basins has received a setback with the publication of the World Bank's 2016 Logistics Performance Index on June 28. Morocco's ranking fell to 86th place, from 50th in 2012. Impacts Morocco's fall in logistics performance and corruption rankings could be used to attack the government in the election campaign. It could also provide an incentive to reform the business environment, which the IMF has highlighted as a policy priority. Morocco's advantages compared to its regional peers will outweigh investor concerns over the rankings.
