Competition in maritime transport networks

The traditional view on port competition considers only the horizontal structure of this sector, in which interaction between ports can be explained by oligopolistic models. The current study examines interaction between ports in maritime transport networks with two types of strategic interaction, competition and coopetition coexisting. Although the analysis presented in the study refers to ports, its results are also applicable to other network sectors. A general mono-line chain structure is first considered to derive the basic properties of coopetition and then extended to incorporate competition and coopetition in different network structures. The paper shows how interaction between service providers in a transport/logistics network may be driven by the concurrence of both competition between its chains and coopetition within each chain. The policy and management implications are also discussed
