Globalization 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 chains within the port and shipping industry. In this revised edition there are new chapters on port-centric logistics in concept and practice, 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, 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.

Recensione:
"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."
