This authoritative book is both a great introduction to the
economics of the shipping industry and a valuable reference book
for commercial practitioners. Economics of Sea Transport and
International Trade is an easy-to-read reference for those who
need an overview of the economic and commercial issues involved in
the chartering, ownership and management of oceangoing ships. It
describes canals and ports and economies of scale in ship
sizes.
Diagrams and easy-to-follow graphs supplement clear explanations
of the supply and demand for shipping. The book examines the wider
shipping industry - including tankers, dry cargo, the liner trade
and the sale and purchase of ships - and describes the factors
within world trade which contribute to the up and down cycles that
affect the shipping industry. The management of vessel operations
as well as the information that shipbrokers need in order to
operate within the industry are covered.
Economics of Sea Transport and International Trade
details contractual and commercial essentials that are specific to
the maritime industry and covers balance of payments and currency
exchange rates.
