2. Structural changes in the container handling market The attitude of the port authorities Rotterdam Municipal Port Management:

„ Model of ‘one big player’ (i.e. ECT)

„ Dedicated terminals, but preferably with shareholding ECT

Antwerp Port Authority:

„ Model of strong internal port competition

„ Not eager to allow dedicated terminals

Past practices:

„ strong divergence between Rotterdam and Antwerp

Today’s practice:

„ Market dynamics resulted in more or less same market structure

„ Antwerp: 2 main players (P&O Ports, PSA), involvement shipping lines

„ Rotterdam: 2 main players (ECT, APM), involvement shipping lines 42 3. Port competition The ‘orange boomerang’
