In particular it focuses on understanding the needs, challenges and risks for sector reform; choosing among options for private sector participation and analyzing their implications; preparing legislation, contracts and institutional charters to govern private sector participation; managing the transition to increased private sector involvement. The Toolkit presents "best international practices" in a manner that is relevant to decision-makers. The Toolkit is designed to be easily understood by non-specialists. Thus, it attempts to make general points with concrete examples. It is illustrated with experience drawn from recent port reform activities around the world.en-USCC BY 3.0 IGOACCESS TO CAPITALBREAKWATERSBULK CARGOCARGO HANDLINGCERTIFICATION PROCEDURESCHANNELSCOMMUNICATION SERVICESCOMPETITIVE BIDDINGCONTAINER HANDLING CAPACITYCONTAINER OPERATIONSCONTAINER STUFFINGCONTAINER TERMINALDECISION MAKERSDREDGINGEXPENDITURESFIRE PROTECTIONFREIGHTINFORMATION SYSTEMSKNOWLEDGE GAPLICENSESMARINE SERVICESMARITIME INDUSTRYMEDIAPORTPORT ACTIVITIESPORT ASSETSPORT AUTHORITIESPORT AUTHORITYPORT COMPETITIONPORT DEVELOPMENTPORT MANAGEMENTPORT OPERATIONSPORT PRIVATIZATIONPORT REFORMPORT SECTORPORT SERVICESPORT STRUCTURESPORT SUPERSTRUCTUREPORT USERSPORTSPRIVATE SECTORPRIVATE SECTOR INVESTMENTPRIVATE SECTOR PARTICIPATIONPROGRAMSPUBLIC FUNDSPUBLIC SECTORPUBLIC SERVICEQUAYSRISK SHARINGSECURITY SERVICESSERVICE DELIVERYSHIPSHIP SAFETYSHIPPINGSHIPPING COMPANIESSHIPPING LINESHIPPING LINESSOCIAL CAPITALSTEVEDORESSTEVEDORINGSUPPLY CHAINSTERMINAL OPERATIONSTERMINAL OPERATORSTRAFFIC MANAGEMENTVESSEL TRAFFIC PORT INFRASTRUCTURETRANSPORTURBAN DEVELOPMENTPUBLIC INSTITUTIONSPORT REFORMSPORT ADMINISTRATIONPORT ADMINISTRATION REFORMPORT EFFICIENCYPORT FACILITIESPORT MAINTENANCE STANDARDSPORT MANAGEMENT INFORMATION SYSTEMSPORT MANAGEMENTPORT OPERATIONSPORT PERFORMANCEPORT PRIVATIZATIONPORT REHABILITATIONPORT SERVICESLEGAL FRAMEWORKWorld Bank10.1596/0-8213-5046-3
