“…The attributes considered in the choice models are frequency, transit time, distance, direction (headhaul/backhaul), delivery window, reliability and price offered by the operators. In [25], the transport companies' perception between SSS and road transport is investigated so as to identify the service attributes influencing the choice of SSS services. With reference to the Black Sea area, Yotsov et al ( [26]) analyze a set of possible alternatives (i.e., SSS, railway and road) to transporting freight, considering as assessment criteria, time, costs and CO 2 emissions.…”

The paper aims to investigate short sea shipping services as a competitive, sustainable freight transport system which is able to respond to economic, social and environmental needs. An assessment methodology is proposed which considers an aggregate discrete choice model, simulating the split between the competitive transport alternatives in the Mediterranean basin. The proposed methodology was used to assess the potential of short sea shipping (SSS) and the net benefits deriving from lower external costs in the north-western Mediterranean basin. Two future scenarios are considered: introduction of new SSS services as envisaged by current EU projects and plans, and the introduction of new SSS routes and an increase in frequencies of existing services. Significant results were obtained in terms of shifting freight traffic from the road network as well as external benefits.

“…On the other side of the world, Boske (2001) investigated cabotage policies in North and Latin Americas and Brooks et al (2014) analysed the cabotage of six Latin American countries (Brazil, Uruguay, Argentine, Chile, Peru and Ecuador). Of the six countries, Brazil has drawn the attention of both national and international research communities ;Paixão Casaca et al (2017a) andPaixão Casaca et al (2017b) investigated the Brazilian cabotage policy taking into account the demand and supply and the integration of cabotage within multimodal transport chains. Brooks (2009) reviewed the Australian, New Zealand, the European, Canadian, US, Japanese and Chinese cabotage markets.…”

“…Moreover, the analysis suggests that the assumption that protected cabotage regimes constitute the pillar towards the development of national shipping industries is a formula that works for some countries (Malaysia and Indonesia) but certainly not for others (Brazil). In the latter case, the connection between the maritime industry and the shipbuilding industry did not work, and the research performed by Paixão Casaca et al (2017a, 2017b provides some insights into the reasons for this failure.…”

Purpose -The development of the current European economic area maritime cabotage market occurred when, at a policy level, the European Union forced the opening of its member-states cabotage markets to Community shipowners and extended this openness, in 1997, to the european free trade area countries. A twotier cabotage market emerged, where a European economic area legislative framework co-exists with the legislative acts of each member-state. With such a unique background, this paper aims to investigate both the European economic area member-states and the rest of the world cabotage regimes and identify a list of reasons and policy measures used to implement cabotage policies.Design/methodology/approach -By means of a desk research methodological approach, this paper analyses, from a geographical perspective, different countries' cabotage policies and classifies them, and identifies in a systematically way a set of reasons and policy instruments that support each of chosen policies approach.Findings -The outcome indicates that only a few countries promote free liberalised cabotage services and that most countries favour protectionist cabotage policies, whose governments can control the number of foreign vessels participating in these trades. Cabotage regimes have been categorised and the reasons behind both policies and respective policy instruments have been identified.Originality/value -Quite often, researchers only focus on the cabotage policies of the European economic area countries, the USA, Australia, Japan and South Korea. This paper value rests on its ability to incorporate cabotage policies from other African, Asian and Latin American countries and to update existing information on the subject. Overall, this paper paves the way to broaden the cabotage knowledge.
