• Resumen

  • This article aims to determine the development (rate) of maritime container ports in a case involving transatlantic container transport in order to ascertain a model of container flows between container terminals in the United States and container terminals in Western and Northern Europe. The model proposed by the authors is made using the following eight key elements: transport infrastructure and suprastructure, influence of the intelligent information system, economic growth, transport ecology, transport flows, innovations and safety and security and transport energy. The research builds mainly upon empirical data analysis.
