Abstract
In 1990s the debate on very large ships made the Mega ship and mega port concept emerge. Many studies have bees done on such big ships by consultant, naval architects, port designers, ship operators, economists etc,. with different points of view and results. This paper, by reviewing the literature systematically, identifies limitations and major issues, and suggests directions for further studies.
