There are hundreds of roles in the shipping industry and they
all fit into the whole like pieces of a jigsaw puzzle. This book
will help bring the picture into focus.
Shipping Business describes how business entities are
structured, how they work, how they communicate and how they handle
the legal and ethical constraints imposed upon them. The book
examines the ships themselves and the disciplines of chartering,
sale and purchase, ship management, port agency and liner trades.
Seaborne trade is analysed as well as the ship types that are
deployed in the various trades. International trade practice and
finance in international trade are discussed. Moreover, an overview
of the main shipping organisations is provided.
This book is essential reading for anyone intending to follow a
career path within the shipping sector. Shipping Business
will not only help them make an informed choice but, more broadly,
will greatly add to their knowledge and understanding of the
industry.
