Abstract
This article presents a proposal for determine, given a port region, new SSS candidates between a node and its neighbours, considering the nautical distance between ports as a distance metric. For accomplishing that, classic, homothetic and spatial shift-share decompositions are applied to the 2006-2014 throughput dataset of the 57 European Atlantic Arc main ports. The conclusions show that along the Atlantic facade of the Iberian Peninsula (Portuguese and Galician region - Spanish-ports), and for some Irish sea positions, there are growing nodes with great potential for keep their throughput increasing, in terms of inner competitiveness or by establishing new SSS services between neighbour positions. Another Atlantic Arc ports, affected by the crisis, also appear with good recovering chances based in the setting up of new SSS services.
