Ports as nodal points in a global transport system

---

This volume is the report on the Pacem in Maribus Conference on Ports as 'Nodal Points' in the Global Transport System, held in Rotterdam in the period 27-31 August 1990. Pacem in Maribus (PIM), an initiative of the International Ocean Institute (ΙΟΙ), is the name given to a series of international conferences dealing with the use and management of the world's oceans and their resources. The first PIM Conference was held in Malta, 'home' of ΙΟΙ, in 1970, since when it has been followed by 17 conferences held at various locations, including vessels, around the world. IOI's conviction that the world's oceans should be viewed as the 'common heritage of mankind' and used and managed in the interests of all has meant that the special needs, problems and opportunities of the developing countries have always received special attention in annual PIM convocations. Conferences are frequently held in developing countries and are characteristically attended by participants from both the 'North' and 'South'. While PIM has addressed many issues in ocean development over the past two decades, none of its conferences had focused on ports and, more specifically, on the role and position of ports in the global transport system. This apparent omission can in part be explained by the limited attention given to ports in the lengthy negotiation process that culminated in the adoption by most of the world's nations of the new Convention on the Law of the Sea, which ΙΟΙ continuously sought to influence through its annual PIM convocations as well as its training, research and advisory work. The omission can nevertheless be considered surprising since ports are one of the principal interfaces between land and sea and the main entry and exit points in the global transport system that links the world's nations with more than 70 per cent of the earth's surface. PIM XVin had ports as 'nodal points' as its central theme. It was appropriately held in Rotterdam - the world's largest port - to coincide with the City's 650th anniversary celebrations. Erasmus University of Rotterdam cooperated with ΙΟΙ in all aspects of the conference's design and organization. The conference's Preparatory Committee, which included representatives of not only ΙΟ and Erasmus University but also the Netherlands Ministry of Transport and Public Works, the Port of Rotterdam, IMO, UNCTAD, UNIDO and the Netherlands
