Since the end of the 20th century, despite the crisis in the fishing sector in Spain, there has been a significant growth in fishing ports. This is partly due to the fact that the requalification of ports has been an objective of the Common Fisheries Policy (CFP) since the mid-1990s. The aim of the paper is to analyse the impact of this policy, as well as to observe the integration between port and city linked to social demand which makes it possible for fishing uses to coexist with other recreational, sporting or commercial uses. The case study focuses on the ports of Muros and Ribeira (Galicia), based on a combined quantitative and qualitative analysis, using statistical and cartographic sources (SIOSE programme and photointerpretation) and fieldwork. The results show a significant growth and diversification of port uses, at the same time as a reduction in the number and power of the fishing fleet (SGP, 2021). The authors highlight the absence of a master plan to guide investments at regional level, and, in general, of sectoral and urban planning instruments to harmonise these processes.

The objective of the article is to review in a general way the history of the transversal road towards the Central Coast of Oaxaca, Mexico, throughout the nineteenth century, from the logic of regional history. The text shows two general moments in which the port of Huatulco, initially, and Puerto Ángel, later, were the points of articulation of the road, many times as part of interoceanic communication projects. None of the specific projects materialized, due to various factors, especially political and economic, which can be identified in the text. However, this look shows an extremely significant role of the road project in the projections of a communications system in that period. One of the main contributions of the text is precisely to explore from a critical perspective, distant from the conventional centralist vision. Among the collections consulted are the Hemeroteca Nacional de México, the Hemeroteca Manuel Brioso y Candiani, Hemeroteca Digital de la Biblioteca Nacional de España, Biblioteca Fray Francisco de Burgoa and the Mapoteca Manuel Orozco y Berra.

Industry in general and ports in particular are moving towards 4.0 processes. The use of new technologies and new market patterns are the main tools for the success of these processes. The current challenges of the port sector are to develop Smart ports whose main characteristics are defined by digitalization and synchro-modality. Only they allow determining a new scenario in which it is possible to raise the Blue Ocean Strategy, leaving aside competition and looking for a new demand. The growing development of digital techniques and their implementation in port management and transport processes makes this strategy viable on an even greater scale. The general conclusion of the research is that it is possible to apply market strategies to the Spanish port sector with a different methodology to the one used until now. It can be seen that Spanish ports, still have a long way to go in terms of sustainability, understood in three dimensions: economic, social and environmental. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Maritime transport currently plays a key role in global socio-economic relations. Certain policies, such as globalization, could not be understood without the development of maritime connectivity and its degree of accessibility. The aim of this work, in addition to making an approximation to the theoretical and methodological framework, is to relate development to maritime transport and its application to the specific case of the Canary Islands, where we analyse accessibility from the point of view of connectivity and, in particular, timetables and taxes in the context of the proposal for the Transinsular Axis of Transport, a policy aimed at cohering the territory through maritime and land transport. It delves into accessibility deficiencies, discussing their weaknesses. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Countries need to trade in order to meet demand and increase the supply of goods in the various markets that make up the globe. In the article, we make an analysis of the trade and ports of the countries of the Mexican Republic (Mexico) and the Republic of Argentina (Argentina). Both nations have a growth of more than 300% in sales, as well as bilateral purchases during the years 2000 to 2015. Similarly, the two countries have ports that are in the top 100 of the ports that more containers move in the world, being the most important Manzanillo and Buenos Aires. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This article analyzes a proposal sent to the king by the governor of Nueva Galicia to construct two barquentines, financed by the royal treasury, to patrol the coasts of Nueva Galicia and California. These barquentines would provide reinforcements to the northeast areas to combat indigenous revolts, foment local exploration, and reduce the presence of enemy Ships. The project reveals the economic problems and possibilities present, as well as the early reformist measures implemented, in the novohispanic Pacific coasts during the first half of the eighteenth century.

This article classifies Spanish ports using a number of indicators that characterize the port activity. These indicators are treated with statistical analysis tools. Cluster analysis has been chosen to perform groupings among the selected ports. A methodology that covers all phases of research: environment, characterization, data source, cluster analysis, results and analysis of results has been followed in this paper. The results show that the Spanish ports are correctly characterized by physical and exploitation indicators, and that cluster analysis is a valid and useful tool for the port environment.

Royal Decree-Law 8/2014 (and the later Law 18/2014) amended article 82 of Royal Legislative Decree 2/2011, approving the Consolidated Version of the State Ports and Merchant Marine Act, increasing the maximum term of a new concession from 35 to 50 years. Besides, they have enacted a new Tenth Transitional Provision, establishing the process for applying for and obtaining an extension of the initial term of those concessions granted before the entry into force of Royal Decree-Law (i.e., July 5, 2014), in order to put them in a competitive position with those concessions granted under the new legal framework.

This article outlines the development of the Spanish port system from the perspective of the people and society they serve. Reference is made to Iribarren, the creator of harbour and sea works, and other illustrious engineers that have made the system what it is today. These founding figures have been followed by other engineers that give a human dimension to maritime engineering and allow us to consider the ensuing commitment to young engineers and the environment. The harbour, sea passage and the transit of passengers and vessels, all serve as this basis for these deliberations. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

West Africa's colonial ports played a decisive role in introducing these territories to international raw-material trade routes. The port of Dakar in Senegal centralized regional foreign trade, going on to become the main trade hub of French West Africa. This importance was reflected in the investments poured into improving the port's infrastructure, as well as in the construction of transport links to the interior of the country, where the growing of crops for export was developed. This continual modernization of the port infrastructure was reflected in the growth of trade activities in the region, as well as in the orientation of the productive economy to the export sector of colonial commodities. This article outlines the main phases in the modernization of Dakar's port infrastructures, and also discusses its relationship with the growth of corporate activities and the increasing regional importance of the Western African metropolis. The article also analyses the main institutions and the port management model, closely related to metropolitan interests and the legal status of Senegal as a colony. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The Colombian system of concessions has been a cornerstone of the development of the country and created a strong relationship between the public and the private sector to finance large projects. Within these major works are the ports as a unit of economic exploitation that requires large investments and involve a somewhat complex relationship because of their recent implementation in this sector, through this article is conceptualized concession contract according to the law 1 of 1991 and act 80 of 1993, the overall content structure of port concessions making a control analysis, monitoring of this contract and the extension thereof.

This article discusses the economic role of the diputaciones, political councils, in the Basque Country of Spain, particularly the Diputación Provincial de Guipúzcoa (Provincial Council of Guipúzcoa), during the Restoration during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. The author comments on the differences in fiscal policies between the Basque councils and the rest of Spain, including the taxation system and economic investments in such areas as transportation. The influence of the middle class in the Basque Country, known as the bourgeoisie, on economic policy, is also explored.

The only reference about the works of the dock in Alicante up till now was the information found in the Doctoral Thesis of Subirá Guillermina, "Evolution of the Port of Alicante", published in 1985. Twenty five years later, the research of national and international archives has brought to light new data about the origins of the dock in Alicante and its first extension works. This research examines a drawing found the Archive of the Crown of Aragon, signed by an engineer called Antonelli. This poorly dated and scarcely studied document has never been published, The following research studies the first known map of the dock of Alicante, a valuable testimony which will show unknown data about its extension (140 metres long) around the year 1576.

Ports are a node within the transport chain, so that to determine and evaluate the external connectivity of Chilean ports with Chile's main commercial partners is a key element in analyzing port competitiveness with regards to Chile's increasing foreign trade. This research is based on the UNCTAD research guidelines concerning the external connectivity of countries. In this study, this methodology was modified and applied to assess the external connectivity of Chilean ports handling containers. Using market share criteria, seven ports were chosen to be studied, and for each port nine connectivity rates were calculated, which were then used to calculate the Port External Connectivity Index (ICEP) proposed in this work. The results showed that the ports of lquique, Valparafso and San Vicente provide greater opportunities for exporters to access supply chains that are more suitable for their products or to access different markets from the same port. However, when comparing the areas surrounding the ports in the Fifth and Eighth Regions, it was found that the southern ports had better maritime accessibility conditions and could attract more shipping companies to the area. The ports of central Chile present no major differences for exporters with regard to external connectivity. In contrast, the southern ports through San Vicente port offer exporters better market access. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Maritime Ports have become important centers of regional development. The efficient operation of port activities is crucial for access to foreign markets. There are several methodologies aimed at achieving greater efficiencies in the ports, but DEA has enormous potential as a management methodology. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The X factor in price cap systems is useful to identify the inefficiencies of the costs of port services. However its determination can be controversial and rife with risks due to the asymmetry of information. In this article, a model is proposed to set the X factor with the maximum tariff schema based on the Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA). With this tool it is possible to estimate the efficiency rate of the different elements of a group of decision units by comparing their supply levels and visible products for the State regulatory agency. In the case of port infrastructure it is possible to analyze the efficiency of the technology and the time investment of the ports according to declared costs, so that the efficient ports can have their costs approved, while the rest would have their costs reduced according to their efficiency rate.

Slowly since the sixties, and with more intensity during the eighties, old ports, having first been victims of industrial and transportation crisis, became objectives of what is known as mise en valeur. Those areas have an extraordinary potential for investment, because of their infrastructure, existing buildings and strategic localization in the city. It was a managing problem based on how to promote the old port as an attraction. Not only was important to underline the waterfront's charm, but to make acceptable by people a territory for decades neglected. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
