FIGURE 3.6 Scenario 4 – new EIP members (Martin et al., 1996)

Scenario 5
In this stage, the researches assume that the remote partners are co-located
with the remainder of the EIP members to study the additional benefits that
could be derived from co-location. They also analyzed the provision of sev-
eral joint services, which we assume the port can provide once the EIP has
enough members to make these activities economically feasible. These joint
services include a solvent recycler, an oil recycling operation, and a water
pre-treatment plant. These changes produce the following opportunities:

• Each of the exchanges described in scenario 3 take place with lower
transportation costs.
• The water pre-treatment plant provides clean water to the power plant.
• The solvent and waste oil recyclers are used by the discrete parts
manufacturer, ballast manufacturer, auto parts manufacturer, and tex-
tiles company.

Comments and analysis
This study has demonstrated the development of different levels of interac-
tions between Brownsville park’s members starting from minimum interac-
tions taking place at scenario 1 and increasing gradually until reaching
