Svitzer Marine operates 41 tugs in the UK and provides services in seven ports and six terminals; Adsteam provides harbour and terminal towage services in six of the UK's major deep-water ports and adjacent waterways. This report on the proposed acquisition of Adsteam by Svitzer concludes that the only significant lessening of competition would occur at Liverpool, where Svitzer should be required to divest either the Adsteam or Svitzer operation to a suitable purchaser. As well as the report and findings, this publication contains: financial information on the two companies; industry background; information on entry conditions into local markets; an analysis of Svitzer and Adsteam prices and discounts; sales and market share in Liverpool.

One might mistakenly think that the long tradition of economic analysis in antitrust law would mean there is little new to say. Yet the field is surprisingly dynamic and changing. The specially commissioned chapters in this landmark volume offer a rigorous analysis of the field's most current and contentious issues. Focusing on those areas of antitrust economics that are most in flux, leading scholars discuss topics such as: mergers that create unilateral effects or eliminate potential competition; whether market definition is necessary; tying, bundled discounts, and loyalty discounts; a new theory of predatory pricing; assessing vertical price-fixing after Leegin; proving horizontal agreements after Twombly; modern analysis of monopsony power; the economics of antitrust enforcement; international antitrust issues; antitrust in regulated industries; the antitrust-patent intersection; and modern methods for measuring antitrust damages. Students and scholars of law and economics, law practitioners, regulators, and economists with an interest in industrial organization and consulting will find this seminal Handbook an essential and informative resource.
