Details

This title essentially covers all the fundamental insights on shipping. Singapore is one of the major shipping hubs in the world. There is a lack of locally produced texts to educate new entrants to the shipping sectors. Due to its broad prospect and vast evolutional nature either in technology or commercial, the acquisition of shipping knowledge should never be deemed sufficient nor adequate. Nevertheless, to start off, one should acquire its fundamentals adequately and this is what this book achieves. 

The book employs the usage of simple, clear and direct explanation of shipping terms and principles. Illustrated by extensive use of diagrams and figures, the book aids readers in understanding the subject matter effectively. 

Written in a way which allows easy comprehension of the subject, this book aims to inject realisation as to the preference or option to choose the optimum mode of transportation for international trade. It is suitable for the working adults, interns and students.
