Abstract

According to news published recently, "the (Portuguese) government prepares to announce the creation of a new institutional body, in the domain of the Ministry of Economy, which will be responsible for making policy decisions and the organization of the port sector (...) this new public entity will outline all the maritime and political strategy, as an integrated perspective”. In: Transportes em Revista, 15-05-2013.

Now that is a bit entrenched in the collective subconscious talking about sea and ports as part of the miracle(s) that must occur as to get out from economic and social torpor (terms that risk however to be trivialized by echoes reproduced within a growing number of players), one have to identify at first hand of what we are actually talking about.
