Abstract
This chapter assesses consolidation and competition issues in maritime transport, especially liner shipping. It responds, inter alia, to the request of UNCTAD Member States expressed at the 2018 Intergovernmental Group of Experts on Competition Law and Policy, which, “recognizing the role of maritime transport in facilitating and promoting international trade, encourages competition authorities to follow developments in the container shipping sector to ensure fair competition and prevent anti-competitive practices in these markets, and urges competition authorities to cooperate with each other in dealing with cross-border anti-competitive practices, and even more so in the maritime transport sector, given its global nature” and called “upon UNCTAD to continue its analytical work in the area of international maritime transport to include the monitoring and analysis of the effects of cooperative arrangements and mergers not only on freight rates but also on the frequency, efficiency, reliability and quality of services, as part of its work on the Review of Maritime Transport
