Political and technical factors impinging on port operations: the case of Manchuria

Auteurs :

Description :
The A. studies the five readily discernible seminal events which have moulded port-hinterland relations in Manchuria since 1862, and have dictated the scale and scope of port operations. The dominance of Dalian in the port system owes to geographical advantage and to the turn of political events. The twin driving forces leading to ship enlargement and specialisation have induced reorganisation of waterfront and inland transfer facilities. These adaptations, politically-inspired or technologically-motivated, are studied.
