Abstract
Mergers and acquisitions among global operators of maritime container traffic are a common market phenomenon. At the same time, this process causes a gradual increase in market concentration, which in turn can lead to domination of the sector by major shipowners. Thus, the effectiveness of markets will be restricted by evolution of its structures towards oligopolistic competition. The aim of the article is to present the possibilities of using fundamental measures of market concentration to study their level of competitiveness. A review of the current literature in the field of measurement of concentration was described. By using these measures, subsequently, a research based on the ranking of the largest marine container operators in the world was provided as well. The analysis confirmed the importance of the choice of measures on the obtained measurement result, and thus to assess the degree of competitiveness of markets.
