A major dredging programme to deepen the shipping channels at the Port of Tauranga has seen some 5 million m3 of mainly sandy sediment dredged from the shipping channels and dumped on the adjacent inner shelf. An Environmental Impact Assessment has
This paper studies the endogenous choice of transport technology, traditional versus modern, by a shipper. Although the modern technology is characterized by higher fixed costs and a higher speed of transport, it is chosen for intermediate distances
, rather than to long distances. The reason is that, when the shipper switches to the modern technology, the industrial firm changes production from the home to the foreign city. Thus, the demand for transport decreases proportionally to the distance
