The liberalization of Maritime Transport is one important element to increase the export competitiveness of a country. In fact, studies remark that, for some countries, the effective rate of protection by the costs of transport is much higher than that of tariffs. One of the most relevant elements in the determination of the costs of maritime transport refers to the efficient management of ports. The global trend towards trade liberalization and integration and economic interdependence led Latin American countries to opt for programs of economic reforms that incorporated the participation of d…
Abstract Trade between the Central American Common Market (CACM) and the Caribbean Community (CARICOM) is very low. Only 0.2% of the two groups' trade is between them. A possible explanation for this might be a supposed lack of adequate transport services. This report analyzes if there exists a potential to promote inter-subregional trade by improving transport services. It is found that in fact there does not exist a lack of direct services. 17% of services that call in one of the subregions also call in the other. In addition, due to the increase in transshipment services, a…
Resumen En el presente documento se analiza cómo en Chile se podrían promover los servicios de transporte marítimo nacional-el cabotaje-y los servicios marítimos regulares internacionales, a la vez facilitando una mayor integración de ambos. A pesar de su larga costa, en Chile los principales flujos de carga general se transportan por vía terrestre, notablemente en camión. Por razones económicas y ambientales convendría aumentar el modo marítimo, es decir, el cabotaje. A nivel mundial, se observa una creciente integración internacional de los procesos de producción de bienes y servicios. Las…
Summary Trade between Africa and South America is of relatively minor importance for each region. The main purpose of this report is to determine if a scarcity of maritime transport services could explain this comparative unimportance. More than half of all trade between the two regions is accounted for by just ten specific bilateral flows in petroleum, grain, iron ore, coal, and sugar. Almost all inter-regional trade moves by sea, mostly by non-liner charter shipping services. Trade between Africa and South America is subject to relatively low freight rates, mainly due to the type of produ…
The external trade of a country is closely linked with its geographical location, with the transport services that cover the distance to markets, and the ports through which that trade passes. Recent advances in maritime transport, the growing international economic integration, and the privatization of ports in the countries on the Pacific coast of South America have given rise to expectations that ports could be developed that concentrate both domestic cargo and that of neighbouring countries for its subsequent redistribution: what are known as hub ports . The main conclusion of t…
El comercio exterior de un país está estrechamente vinculado
a su ubicación geográfica, los servicios de transporte que cubren
las distancias hacia los mercados y los puertos por los
cuales pasa este comercio. Recientes avances en el transporte
marítimo, la creciente integración económica internacional y
las privatizaciones portuarias en los países del Pacífico sudamericano
han llevado a crear expectativas de que surjan puertos
que concentren carga nacional y de países vecinos para su
posterior redistribución: los llamados puertos pivotes. La principal
conclusión del presente análisis es que e…
Abstract Concentration in liner shipping means that relatively larger shipping companies are increasing their market share at the expense of the remaining smaller players. Although this process is not new, it has gained strength and is particularly affecting ports and shipping services in developing regions. Because trade is growing as a proportion of world GDP, governments and international organizations attach an increasing priority to improving ports and shipping services. This leads to deregulation, which, together with technological advances, increases the incentives for shipping companie…

The COVID-19 not only poses a severe global sanitarian threat, it also represents a supply and a demand shock - both aspects influencing international trade in goods and services. The following paragraphs point out the main challenges in trade and transport as an aftermath of the pandemic.
Spread prevention. Around 80% of global trade is transported by commercial shipping. Unfortunately, freight transport can contribute to the spread of the virus as it is not fully computerized. Both documents and goods continue to be subjected to physical checks for customs and other regulatory purposes. Staf…

El COVID-19 no solo representa una grave amenaza sanitaria global, sino que también representa un shock de oferta y demanda, ambos aspectos que influyen en el comercio internacional de bienes y servicios. Los siguientes párrafos señalan los principales desafíos en el comercio y el transporte como consecuencia de la pandemia.
Prevención de propagación. Alrededor del 80% del comercio mundial se transporta por transporte comercial. Desafortunadamente, el transporte de carga puede contribuir a la propagación del virus, ya que no está completamente informatizado. Tanto los documentos como las merca…
