ABSTRACT
The market concentration of selected 24 container port/terminal in the
Middle East region was evaluated. Data
collected for 6 years (2009-2014), HHI (Herfindahl-Hirschman
index technique) was used to analyse the market behaviour and the movement of
the market towards monopoly or to lead to PPC (pure and perfect competition). Based on the above,
by analyzing the defined market data, it was found to be a promising market and
tends to competition. Of course, this serves the interest of the client, which
is the efficiency and speed of cargo handling safely and at the lowest cost.
EN-US;mso-fareast-language:EN-US;mso-bidi-language:AR-SA'>set approach offer to
the maritime industry an innovative and state of the art method to achieve
unequaled accuracy, low computation time and some unique advantages such as,
amongst others, the end of the numerical wave propagation problems. The results
of the validation were pleasing and can be considered as acceptable in general,
with some challenges remaining to the solved. Results obtained indicate that an
optimization processes in waves in realistic conditions is now affordable in an
industrial context.
