THE INTEGRATION OF LAND AND SEA TRANSPORT, TOGETHER WITH INDUSTRIAL DEVELOPMENT

This Paper describes maritime industrial development areas (MIDAS)-a concept of the National Ports Council which would enable bulk-consuming industries, and consequentially the economy of Britain, to derive maximum economic advantage from the use of large ships for import of cargo in bulk. Examples of similar developments overseas are given. Progress to date is summarized briefly.
