However,there is some doubt about who should pay for this transitional strategy. The PRTK argues that the financial cost of transition should be met by the government-although there is some suggestion that private sector operators,or even the customers such as the shipping lines,might pay for a proportion.However,these latter options are somewhat negated by later statements in the PRTK,which argue that labour resructuring should where possible take place prior to divestment (World Bank,2001a:16)
