Who Owns The Port
Private enterprise
Who owns the port has an affect on how it develops. Broadly,
there are five types of owner. During their history, many ports
have been run by several different types. Many ports were originally the result of private enterprise. A
person or company invested money to build quays and later docks,
hoping to get a return on their investment. A few ports have an
unbroken history of such ownership. For instance, the Manchester
Ship Canal Company built the port of Manchester in the 1890s, and
still owns it, although its terminal docks have largely been
redeveloped.
