The poster that was presented by Dan and Christin. Their work looks at the evolving role of the Port Authority, and how that entity can intervene more positively and proactively within the global maritime supply chain. Ports from around the world provided case studies of Port Authorities embracing this new responsibility as a result of globalisation.
