| Ports and Container Terminals The primary function of seaports is to facilitate trade. To do this effectively demands that seaports offer and maintain higher levels of efficiency at reducing cost. Seaports must be able to achieve these aims whilst also ensuring that what they do is environmentally sustainable. An ever-increasing share of world trade is carried in containers; unfortunately for many of the world’s largest ports, container terminal efficiency, low cost (i.e. the ‘real’ cost) and environmental sustainability does not go hand in hand. So what is driving ongoing container port development in ports? At its most basic level, constant trade growth means a doubling of port capacity is necessary every 10-15 years or so, and in virtually all regions of the world. Some regions are growing faster than others, but by and large all regions of the world are having to gear up to handle more container traffic. Historically, container traffic has expanded at more than twice the rate of GDP. While world trade has expanded between 3-5% per annum over the past 20 years, container traffic has grown by an average of between 8-12% annually. Some of the challenges they potentially face are:
