Abstract

Ports play an essential role in maritime transport, which, in turn, is a key element for the economy (Ville, 1990). This can be seen in a significant number of ports located on the African and American coasts and on Atlantic islands. The expansion of a port requires sufficient resources to mobilise assets and production factors, such as raw materials, goods or people. These ports were built in different countries to meet the needs of their developing economies and to enhance their profits.
