"Quite Interesting Book" according to Alexandre Winkler. Although I really enjoyed the book, I must inform that it is not a complete guide to port management as its title suggests. In this regard, I did not see any deeper reference to ERP systems used in port management, this topic being of great interest to me.. "This book arrived in time for my course, it" according to B Harwell. This book arrived in time for my course, it is very informative and I'm able to cross reference it other course work.Thanks Amazon!. Take the Book in Context Lynn This book is a basic introduction to the state-of-the-art in current maritime logistics. The general reader can easily follow the chapters and understand how the maritime industry works on a number of different levels. That said, the chapters are academic
Maritime (shipping and ports) is one of the key components in this business pattern. It is now estimated that approximately 90% of global trading freight moves by ship. This book covers many topics including shipping lines, container tankers, dry bulk, and port-centric logistics. As this trade increases it is becoming more important to have a clear understanding of the way in which freight is transported by sea and the role of ports in this exchange. Current globalization and borderless operations in manufacturing are creating a greater demand for international transportation and supply chain logistics. Written by a team of international authors, who provide a truly global perspective on this increasingly key area of logistics, Maritime Logistics is a helpful, up-to-date resource for students of logistics and logistics professionals.
