Abstract

The effects of current world crisis, together with emerging new maritime routes bring about significant changes in terms of polarization of economic and logistic areas. Traditional parameters defining port attractiveness are changing. New criteria around internal and external port connectivity determine its prospects, giving rise to a new international port hierarchy. This research proposes a measure of the Spanish Mediterranean ports influence in terms of external connectivity (foreland). The measure will be explained /laid out highlighting distinct inter-port specializations and connectivity.
