  10. PAM Region - TEU Capacity Growth Forecast Adriatic 47% Western (Europe) Mediterranean 31% Greece & Turkey 82% Levant 74% North Africa 160% Source: Dynamar (2013) Container Throughput and Terminal Capacity in the Mediterranean

  11. Future utilization • Mediterranean terminal capacity is set to grow from 69 million TEU in 2011 to 113 million TEU by 2021, an increase of 66%.* • Volumes during the same period are expected to increase by 83% from 45.1 million TEU in 2011 to 82.7 million in 2021 pushing utilization average rates to 73%. *including Black Sea Ports Source: Dynamar (2013) Container Throughput and Terminal Capacity in the Mediterranean

  22. 5. Policy Implications

  23. Policy Implications Governments need to find funding for port improvements (infra & superstructures) in a sustainable way so that future maintenance costs are easy to raise. Increased attention to port benchmarking means industry will play a greater role in monitor efficiency. Environmental concerns are fundamental to any development plan whether it be reporting, adaption or mitigation.
