  • Modernising Trust Ports [Second Edition] I
    Modernising Trust Ports [second edition] i. Introduction This is the second edition of Modernising Trust Ports (MTP). The first was published in 2000 by the then Department for the Environment, Transport and the Regions, and followed a review of the trust ports sector that focused principally on corporate governance and accountability. That review highlighted a need for a general improvement in the openness and accountability with which trust ports conduct their business, and prompted the Department to stipulate governance guidelines which it expected all trust port boards to use as the benchmark of best practice — Modernising Trust Ports. A similar exercise was undertaken with respect to municipal ports. The general improvement sought by the Government has been widely in evidence in the years since then, and the sector should be congratulated for the considerable strides it has taken in this direction. In 2006 the successor Department for Transport embarked upon a thorough review of ports policy, in light of devolution in the UK planning and political systems, and the evolution of global trading patterns. The review looked among other things at the future of the mixed ports sector, including the outlook for trust ports in the coming decades. This was set against the backdrop of the decision by the Office of National Statistics (ONS) in 2001 to classify the largest trust ports as public corporations, which had the effect of placing those ports’ borrowing on the Department’s accounts, and the relevant ports' subsequent applications, now on hold, to remove themselves from perceived public sector controls through the pursuit of appropriate Harbour Revision Orders (HROs).

  • Policy Roundtable: Competition in Ports and Port Services 2011
    Competition in Ports and Port Services 2011 The OECD Competition Committee debated competition in ports and port services in June 2011. This document includes an executive summary of that debate and the documents from the meeting: an analytical note by the OECD Secretariat and written submissions from Bulgaria, Chile, Estonia, Finland, the European Union, France, Germany, Indonesia, Italy, Mexico, Netherlands, Portugal, Romania, the Russian Federation, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, Chinese Taipei, Turkey, the United Kingdom and the United States (Department of Justice and Federal Trade Commission), as well as an aide-memoire of the discussion. Ports, whether maritime, inland or river ports, are important pieces of infrastructure that serve a wide range of customers including freight shippers, ferry operators and private boats. One of the main functions of ports is facilitating the domestic and international trade of goods, often on a large scale. Competition in maritime ports and port services is central to countries with significant volumes of maritime- based trade. Inland and river ports can also play important transport roles within countries in particular for heavy or bulky goods where alternative ways of transport are more costly. Ports are, therefore, important for the functioning of the world economy and effective competition in ports and port services plays an important role in the final prices of many products. The roundtable discussion focussed on market definition, regulatory reforms and antitrust enforcement in ports

They range from some of our largest nationally significant ports playing a key role in our economy, to medium-sized ones that play an important role in regional economies to the smallest ones where the harbour can be the focal point of a community. The trust port model is a longstanding and a unique one. These ports are independent organisations that operate commercially without government support. They are accountable to stakeholders including port users, local communities and Government, who in some ways play the same role of shareholders in a private company.

  • Port Governance in the Uk: Planning Without Policy
    PORT GOVERNANCE IN THE UK: PLANNING WITHOUT POLICY Jason Monios Transport Research Institute, Edinburgh Napier University Merchiston Campus, Edinburgh, EH10 5DT, United Kingdom Email: [email protected] This is the pre-published version of the text. The final published paper can be found at: Monios, J. (2017). Port governance in the UK: planning without policy. Research in Transportation Business and Management. 22: 78-88. DOI: 10.1016/j.rtbm.2016.10.006 Abstract The UK’s highly privatised port system means that, while many of the issues in the port governance literature relevant to port concessions do not arise here, the respective roles of harbour authorities and port operators continue to be questioned. The concern in the UK is whose role it should be to monitor the capacity and service quality of the port sector, including how to govern the ways in which the different classes of port stakeholder interact. This paper describes and discusses the UK port sector, the main ports and cargo types, the governance system and recent developments. Recent changes in national policy are reviewed and potential new developments in governance are considered, reflecting on how the UK case represents some key theoretical considerations regarding infrastructure governance within a modern political system favouring private ownership and operation of the transport sector. Key words: UK; port governance; private; trust; container; policy; planning 1 1. Introduction The UK is unusual in its highly privatised port system, with approximately 69% of tonnage handled by privately owned and operated ports. The result is that many of the discussions in other countries about port concessions do not arise here.
