World container port rankings

---

Studying the traffic rankings of the world's busiest seaports and airports geographers are inclined to look for certain locational qualities or attributes that might help explain the rankings [I]. In this paper the 1995 ranking of the world's top 25 container load centres will be put in simple geographical context. No claim is made that this is the only useful context! It is obvious that the physical site characteristics of container ports, such as availability of flat waterfront land and expansion space and deep water alongside, are microgeographic features of importance. Site constraints have impeded container traffic growth at several of the world's great city ports whereas their outports, with more land space and deeper water, continue to grow. There is clear evidence of this in the London, Tokyo and New York regions.
