Abstract
The technical progress in ports seems to be the strategic factor for the development both of ships and ports. No giant tankers and bulk carriers would appear on the seas unless a multiplication of the bulk-cargo handling capacity, and the boom in investments in deep-water facilities had occurred in the post-war period. The container revolution would likewise not have happened unless a great number of container ports had emerged almost ‘over night’ at the end of the 1960s.
