Acknowledgments

This study is the result of a collaboration agreement signed between the Port Authority of Algeciras Bay and the University of Cádiz and was carried out at the request of the Port Authority. In particular, the authors would like explicitly to express its gratitude to all those persons who, in one way or another, have contributed to its completion, and especially to the President of the Port Authority, for the confidence deposited in the University of Cádiz to carry out this study, and to the managers and other staff of the Port Authority for their readiness at all times to provide us with information. Equally we wish to express our gratitude to the managements of Maersk Spain S.A., and the Container Terminal of Algeciras, who have also responded on numerous occasions to the Study Team’s requests for clarification of doubts or further information. We extend these acknowledgments to all the companies and institutions of the Bay of Algeciras associated with the process of containerisation, without whose collaboration and interest it would have been impossible to complete this study. Lastly, we are grateful to the University of Cádiz for putting at our disposal the material resources necessary
