Press Release Summary = Mumbai, India - Sept 11 - The European and Mediterranean
Containerport Markets to 2015 provides a complete update and reappraisal of the
market situation and anticipated conditions in the coming decade. The outlook is for
continued sustained demand growth, with the strongest rates of growth focused in the

Press Release Body = The pace of growth in the European and Mediterranean
containerport markets has been truly dynamic in recent years. This has been driven
by the globalisation of the world economy, the introduction of much larger vessels
into the deep-sea trades - with associated rapid feeder demand growth - and also
strong expansion in intra-regional trades. The European and Mediterranean
Containerport Markets to 2015 provides a complete update and reappraisal of the
market situation and anticipated conditions in the coming decade. The outlook is for
continued sustained demand growth, with the strongest rates of growth focused in the
eastern parts of the region - in the Baltic and Black Sea markets and in Turkey.
However, the pace of expansion will be steady and positive in the more established
markets also.

Transshipment has been a major aspect of world containerport demand in recent years.
The European and Mediterranean Containerport Markets to 2015 provides detailed
analysis and forecasts of the development of regional transshipment markets and
examines the driving forces in each transshipment region.
On the supply side, the position of current investment projects and plans is
reviewed in detail. The resultant prospective development of port capacity is
quantified to 2015. This provides the basis for comparing demand and supply to 2015,
in order to identify potential surplus capacity or shortfalls. The level of capacity
utilisation will indicate the likely direction of container handling prices.

Containerport productivity is analysed by country, in terms of TEUs per metre of
container quay, and TEUs per quayside container gantry crane.
