Extract

Although the economic theory of congestion as applied to road traffic has been known since at least the time of Pigou its application to marine problems has been much slower. It is the purpose of this paper to remedy this somewhat by interpreting the theory in a marine context and to suggest some of the practical implications of taking proper account of congestion effects.
