Current Issues in Shipping, Ports and Logistics/Актуальные вопросы судоходства, портов и логистики

Издание на английском языке
The book explores the current challenges faced by shipping, ports, and logistics in today's global economy. She highlights the importance of these sectors for creating added value and jobs, as well as their role in facilitating international trade. In the context of increasing globalization and complex business networks, the book examines the challenges associated with efficiency, expanding services, reducing the environmental footprint and ensuring high safety standards. The collected materials represent 31 contributions from more than 50 authors from 14 countries and six continents, which gives the book an international character. It covers five key topics: current issues in shipping, flow and network analysis, terminal operations and performance, logistics, and port development. Many articles were presented at the Asian Logistics Round Table conference in Antwerp in 2010, which facilitated the exchange of ideas and the development of the book project. The book adds value to the existing literature on these topics and promotes further systematic thinking in the field of shipping, ports and logistics.
