About this book
Ship** and Logistics Management serves to consolidate the knowledge its authors have acquired from being educators and observers of the ship** industry. Against the background of a global business environment, it explains how the ship** market functions, examining the strategic and operational issues that affect entrepreneurs in this industry.
The authors discuss global trends and strategies in the ship** business, looking at the role of logistics service providers and at how the use of information technology can help ship** operations. Ship** and Logistics Management also aims to answer several important questions in the ship** industry, including: what are the ship** cost structures?, what are the patterns of sea transport? and how do companies in the ship** industry operate?
An invaluable source of information for researchers and advanced, or graduate, students, Ship** and Logistics Management is also a useful reference for ship** practitioners and consultants.
