Description
Globalisation and the rapid increase in world trade in the past decade have contributed to greater demand for international transport and logistics and, consequently, the expansion of the maritime industry. The dramatic changes in the mode of world trade and cargo transportation make it more important than ever to have a clear understanding of the way in which freight is transported by sea and the role of ports in this exchange.
At the cutting edge in its assessment of the industry, Maritime Logistics covers the whole scope of maritime logistics and examines latest logistical developments within the port and shipping industry. With a range of new international contributors, this new edition has been thoroughly revised and updated. There are new chapters on port centric logistics, hinterland logistics and global supply chains, maritime transport and logistics as a trade facilitator, and future trends and developments.
Written by a team of international experts with over fifty years' experience in the field, Maritime Logistics provides a truly global perspective. The book covers everything that students of logistics, as well as those working within the industry, need to know about maritime logistics, including shipping lines, containers, tankers, dry bulk, port-centric logistics, and much more.

Reviews / Votes
"Over most of the last decades, international trade has grown faster than the global economy - and most trade continues to be sea-borne. Even if orders may be placed electronically, the actual movement of the goods still requires ports and ships. Maritime logistics is thus ever more important for any country's development. Understanding contemporary shipping and port management helps businesses and policy makers to lead their companies and countries. This new edition of Maritime Logistics is a timely and important publication, edited and written by some of the most renowned maritime economists." * Dr. Jan Hoffmann, Chief, Trade Facilitation Section, UNCTAD; President, International Association of Maritime Economists (IAME) * "This book is essential reading for all those with an interest in logistics as it is only occasionally that a book of this quality becomes available. Comprehensive, up to date and perceptive it is both informative and a joy to read." * Professor Michael Roe, Chair in Maritime & Logistics Policy, Plymouth Business School * "Maritime Logistics represents a real tour de force in the comprehensive coverage of the shipping and port industries which it provides." * Professor Kevin Cullinane, Professor of Logistics & Transport Economics, University of Gothenburg * "This text covers everything that students and industry professionals need to know about maritime logistics. This second edition has been revised with new chapters covering topics such as port-centric logistics, hinterland logistics, global supply chains, maritime transport, and future trends and developments." * Inbound Logistics * "[A] timely, informative and authoritative look at the global maritime logistics industry, helping explain its history, considering its present-day challenges and operations and casts an eye forward to its future." * Darren Ingram , Darren Ingram Media *More details
