Maritime Logistics: A Complete Guide to Effective Shipping and Port Management

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. "Maritime Logistics" examines the latest development, knowledge and practices taking place in logistics and supply chain within the port and shipping industry. Written by a team of international experts, who provide a truly global perspective on this increasingly key area of logistics, the book covers everything that students of logistics, as well as those working within the industry should know and understand including shipping lines, dry bulk and port-centric logistics.

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.

At any rate, each chapter of the book is full of comprehensive bibliographical references that might help readers to carrying out further studies as for specific topics. In addition, every item of information supplied along the book is supported by those references. In this connection, the book has a look of an academic work.

Maritime Logistics was written by many hands, although Drs. Song and Panayides were the main members of the team. State-of-the-art concepts are examined throughout the book, so that every reader will certainly observe it is a very updated work. In my view, Maritime Logistics and Cargo Work by D. House are quite useful sources of information in the area of maritime logistics, those books being complementary to each other.

Finally, please note there is a difference of scope between logistics and supply chain management, but sometimes those concepts are used interchangeably. The above book approach, however, is mostly under a supply chain perspective. In chapter 15, a detailed literature review is supplied concerning the SCM approach.

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 in approach, but the content is relevant and useful. I found it very inforamtive and interesting. It brought me up to date quickly and has made me somewhat conversant, and certainly more aware of this needed industry.

Another gift for my fiance and again, I hit the nail on the head with this gift. He is an avid Maritime lover!!

great book and service

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!
