Scotland’s Ports - Who Owns Them?

Welcome to the latest episode of Mibbes Aye, our show for people who would like some more information to help make up their minds on independence.

In this episode we drop in on a discussion between Pensioners for Independence and Professor Alf Baird on the question of who owns and runs Scotland's ports and why the current situation is not working for Scotland.

Prior to his retirement, Alf was Professor of Maritime Business and Director of the Maritime Research Group at Edinburgh Napier University. He has a PhD in Strategic Management in Global Shipping.

His specialist area of research and teaching is strategic management in maritime transport. His research activities encompass most of the world's main shipping markets in Europe, Asia, Mid-East and North and Latin America and Australasia.
