Shipping business is the business of shipping with all its
complexity. There are hundreds of roles in the industry and they
all fit into the whole like the pieces of a jigsaw puzzle.
This book describes the business entity and communications in
the shipping business. The disciplines of dry cargo chartering,
tanker chartering, sale and purchase, ship management, port agency
and liner trades are examined. Seaborne trade is analysed as well
as the ship types that are utilised in the various trades.
International trade practice and finance in international trade are
discussed. Moreover, an overview of the main shipping organisations
is provided.
For anyone intending to follow a specific career path within the
shipping sector, this book is essential reading. 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.
