The book "Strategies for Global and Regional Ports" offers a comprehensive analysis of the changing dynamics in container traffic, particularly in the Caribbean. It highlights the challenges and opportunities arising from the increasing reliance on multi-layered transshipment concepts and hub ports. The authors, including Gustaaf De Monie and Frank Hendrickx, examine the strategic significance of the Caribbean as a hub in global trade and the necessity for policymakers to take proactive measures in developing port infrastructure. In light of the changing maritime geography, the role of the Caribbean as a regional hub or feeder port is critically assessed. The book is aimed at professionals and decision-makers in the maritime industry and provides valuable insights into future developments in port management.
