3rd edition, London: Routledge.Port and Maritime Industry FinanceThe financing of the port and shipping industries comes from
several sources, but it is commonly the responsibility of
specialized brokers with close relationships with the industry. The
earnings are used to directly finance operational and capital
requirements of shipping companies and terminal operators as well as
pay back dividends to the institutions providing capital. In such a
context, it is the maritime industry that mostly shapes the
allocation of investment capital and the financial sector provides
this capital based upon merit and expected level of return. Those
are strongly derived from existing trade volume and its growth
potential.
