Abstract

This article examines the relationship between markets for shipping services on the one hand and networking organisation and behaviour on the other. It focuses on two Glasgow-based groups - one, the Donaldson Group, engaged in liner trades and the other, the Hogarth Group, engaged principally in tramp ship trades - which are representative of Clyde shipping as a whole. Public sources and company records are used to explore the ideas and arguments advanced by Gordon Boyce about the significance of networking for shipping firms, and the conclusion is drawn concludes that these need to be extended and modified in certain ways - in particular, to refine the analytical distinction between local level and inter-organisational networks, to recognise the possibility of longer-term decay in network arrangements, and to account for a greater reliance on network organisation by liner than tramp ship owners and managers.
