| Abstract | The literature on liner shipping companies is reviewed and discussed. The first section of the report examines the argument that liner shipping has unique characteristics that require a special public policy as regards monopoly and anti-trust legislation, while the second section examines the ability of liner conferences to inhibit competition. In the final section conference efforts in the rationalisation of liner services are examined. |
