Title: Economic Evaluation Methods for Port Infrastructure Projects: An Application to the Planned Outerport of Amsterdam
Abstract: This paper states that the economic development of almost every country is directly or indirectly related to the existence of one or more seaports and that the port does not have to be located within in that country. The development of seaports as a whole , the improvement of port facilities and the economic growth and development effect each other simultaneously. Port facilities are an important factor for the potential economic growth and development of a country but it is just one of the prerequisites which enable it. Other important factors are the existence of natural resources, basic industry, and a sufficient functioning of the transportation system. Ports can be seen as, sometimes essential, elements of the total transportation system.
