Marketing communications for seaports: a matter of survival and growth
Perhaps the most critical issue facing seaports is their survival and growth in today’s highly competitive environment. Seaports are facing challenging times as the once monopolistic position of having captive markets diminishes. This situation is being replaced by growing sections of the hinterland now being considered by competing seaports as being contestable.

One strategic tool that seaport management can utilize to both attract new customers and retain current customers is the use of marketing communications.
