Abstract
Abolition of the National Dock labour Scheme in July 1989 has intensified competition in Britian's ports and allowed the major port authorities and other port operators to restructure their operations and develop new investment plans. But the result has been to add to excess capacity in the industry and to porduce a ‘zero-sum’ process of traffic redistribution between Britain's driven largely by customer demands for lower charges.Keywords
