Book synopsis

Comparative port history is often preached, but seldom practiced. This volume compares the development of Rotterdam and Antwerp between 1880 and 2000. Using new methods and theories, and employing an extensive, recently constructed database, it presents a new and insightful look at an old topic and includes contributions from both Belgian and Dutch authors. Because of their geographical proximaity, the ports of Rotterdam and Antwerp have a long history of intense rivalry. In order to attract new cargo flows, port dues and cargo-handling costs were regarded as vital instruments. This volume qualifies the importance of pricing as a competitive instrument, and questions the common typologies of Rotterdam and Antwerp.
