The adaptive capacity of container ports in an era of mega vessels: The case of upstream seaports Antwerp and Hamburg

---

Port systemdevelopment is a key theme in port geography literature. Recent decades have brought a rise in container terminal development at estuarine, coastal and offshore port locations, in part driven by scale increases in vessel size. This paper examines howcontainer ports located upstreamon rivers use processes of adaptive capacity building in an attempt to remain competitive in port systems. Welink the development path of upstreamseaports to a range of economic, technological, social and political factors. When combined, these factors shape the willingness and capacity of an upstream seaport to adapt to changing conditions such as an increasing demand
for nautical accessibility. The case study results on Antwerp and Hamburg showthat the discussion on the future of these upstream seaports cannot be detached from broader public policy and stakeholder management concerns and the influences of retention mechanisms, power, politics and collective action by the port community.
