Abstract
The principal objective of this paper is to underline the effectiveness of the application of quantitative methods to seaport systems planning. After recalling the main features of port co-operation and reviewing significative examples of the administrative conditions under which port co-operation must take place in practice, lack of utilization of strategic planning tools and lack of co-ordination among boards deputed to investment decisions are identified as the major obstacles to the effective development of seaport systems in countries where the public authority involvement in port administration is great.
