US/Pacific basin containerized foreign trade: Flag of convenience participation

Marine Policy, 1991, vol. 15, issue 3, 193-198

Abstract: This article demonstrates that economic forces rather than political forces have been the controlling factors operating in the US/Pacific Basin containerized foreign trades. Despite gains made by vessels of flag of convenience States, crosstraders have emerged as the dominant carriers in the region. The success of the crosstraders is attributable to their ability to finance, incorporate, and manage container technologies.
