Abstract

An examination is made of the nature of corporate restructuring among liner shipping companies to meet the needs of producers for logistic services within the Asia‐Pacific Economic Region. This task is undertaken by detailing the development of the global alliances forged in 1996. Then their impact on port selection and competition within the Asia‐Pacific Economic Region is studied with particular reference to the Trans‐Pacific trade. As the composition of these alliances has already changed by mergers their likely effect on port destinies is considered.
