Due to climate change the ice-belt is melting. It will change the environment and open up for a new route for sea trade. The Arctic is a very fragile environment and I discuss the possibility to use a counterbalance fee based on the expected increased cargo ships that will enter and pass the Arctic Ocean. The fee will be used for measures to preservation of the environment and to implement clean tech in ports and at those cargo ships that frequently will use this route.
Containerization refers to the use of standard intermodal containers in freight transport. It has led to vast improvements in port efficiency and lower shipping costs. The key developments were the standardization of container sizes and specifications in the 1960s and the use of container ships, trains, trucks and ports. The top five container ports globally are Shanghai, Singapore, Shenzhen, Ningbo-Zhoushan and Hong Kong. The main advantages of containerization are standardized containers that can be transported anywhere by multiple modes, flexibility, lower costs, and increased speed of transport. Potential requirements for hub ports include location on major shipping routes and access to large hinterlands via multiple transport modes.
This document discusses the different methods of transporting goods and the hazards packages may face with each method. It covers transporting goods by sea/ocean freight, air freight, road transport, and rail. For each method, it identifies environmental and physical hazards packages could encounter during transit, such as changes in atmospheric pressure, humidity, shock, vibration, and movement of cargo. It stresses the importance of using packaging designed to protect goods from these hazards to avoid damage.
Marine transportation is one of the major forms of transportation and was used heavily in the 1800s to transport goods. It remains a significantly less expensive option than other modes like truck or rail. Improvements in ship design have allowed for larger ships that can carry more cargo. Most U.S. goods, over 18%, are transported by water. Marine transportation provides functions of product movement and storage while aiming to achieve economies of scale and distance.
Transportation takes or carries people and goods from one place to another. It is important for commuters to travel to work and school, and for distributing finished goods from the place of production to where they will be consumed. Improved transportation has connected all nations into a global market, allowing even perishable items to reach distant places. The form of transportation used depends on factors like the nature, size, and value of the goods, as well as the urgency of delivery.
Transportation is the key object in every business. The technology and their possible outcomes in near by future are explained over here. What could be the future technology and the possibilities in India ?

Truck Transportation
In many parts of the world, trucking is a vital way of shipping internationally.
In some areas of the world, it represents 100 percent of the international traffic.
In others, it is a lower percentage, but trucking is still a significant part of the international traffic volume.
Importantly, though, trucking is almost always the mode of transportation for the “first mile” and the “last mile” of a shipment’s itinerary.
Truck Transportation
The critical issues for a shipper using truck transportation are the many different national rules and regulations that govern truck transportation. These rules influence:
The weight that can be placed in the truck
The hours that the truck can operate
The size of the equipment that can be used
The number of hours a driver may work
The training that a driver must have
These differences make for very different trucking practices from country to country.
A European truck is limited to an overall length. The tractor is compact to allow for maximum trailer size.
North American trucks are limited by the size of the trailer, with no constraints on the size of the tractor.
Australian trucks have fewer limitations on the number of trailers, leading to the concept of “road-trains.”
North American trailers are carried over long distances by “piggy-back” trains.
In Switzerland, regulations do not allow international trucks to cross the country. They are transported by piggy-back trains from one border to the other.
In India, congested roads encourage truckers to use piggy-back trains on some routes.
In many developing countries, the maximum weight capacities of trucks are routinely exceeded.
Rail Transportation
Rail transportation is also an important mode of transportation for international shipments, although it is mostly a domestic mode for the United States.
Nevertheless, a significant amount of cargo moves by rail in the U.S. In 2012, more than 40 percent of all ton-miles shipped long-distance in the U.S. was shipped by rail.
Rail transport has an approximate 18 percent market share for international cargo movements in the European Union when measured in FTKs.
Rail Transportation
Rail transportation is dominated by three issues:
The ownership of the railroad, which can be private (the United States) or public (most of the remainder of the world).
The infrastructure, such as issues of gauge (width of the tracks), electrification, curves, maintenance, and so on, which dictates the types of goods shipped and the speed at which they are delivered.
The relationship between passenger traffic and merchandise traffic, and which has priority over the other. In the U.S., merchandise traffic has priority, in many other countries, it’s passenger traffic that has priority.

Chartering involves reserving a ship or transportation for others' use. Charterers employ shipbrokers to find ships to deliver cargo for an agreed freight rate. Shipbroking involves brokering between shipowners and charterers. Shipping agencies handle shipments and cargo on behalf of shipping companies, ensuring supplies and documentation are arranged. Key terms in chartering include charter parties recording rate, duration and terms; types of charters depending on cargo ownership; and delivery points affecting hire start times.
This document provides an overview of various modes of transportation for shipping goods, including sea freight, air freight, overland transport, and multimodal transport. It describes the key characteristics of different sea freight options like containerized, conventional cargo, charter shipping, and RO/RO. It also outlines the benefits of air freight and considerations for other modes. The goal is to help choose appropriate shipping methods based on factors such as cost, speed, reliability, and security needed.

Introduction to the company and its history
Strategic Logistics Management Inc (SLM) is a logistics company based in the United States of America (USA). Many factories in New York City and Los Angeles are managed and coordinated by the group. Brook Brothers Company, which sells garments and is based in New York, has come into a partnership agreement with SLM. The contract's scope of work covers warehousing and distribution facilities for clothing packaged in various sizes of cardboard boxes. Pallets about 40 inches by 48 inches are used to compile the cardboard boxes. SLM has been tasked with planning logistics for Brook Brothers shipments from New York to Sydney, Australia, under a newly signed deal. The garments will be transported to and from Australia by SLM Inc. It has also set a monthly goal for freight units equal to 200 20-foot (TEU) of imports and exports. This paper will now concentrate on a logistics strategy that SLM will use to improve its ability to compete in Australian market segments.
The Products' Physical Characteristics
The cardboard boxes are stacked and boxed; a single box measures 48 inches (4 feet) by 40 inches (3.3 feet). The pallet's longer hand measures 4 feet, which is equivalent to 0.2 TEU when divided by 20. The gross weight planned for shipment is two hundred feet, which is equivalent to twenty TEU. It is made up of wooden boxes that will be shipped in a single crate that measures 4 feet by 3.3 feet wide by 3.5 feet tall. The container's gross volume would be 46 square feet. The load's volume per delivery is less than 1 TEU, so it's considered a small consignment. Small deliveries are compact and can be easily transported without the use of heavy transportation. Big consignments, on the other hand, will exceed 1TEU and, depending on their scale, will necessitate comparatively heavy transport.
Transportation mode
For any logistics firm, choosing the mode of transportation is important because it helps to ensure sustainability, cut costs, and ensure the productivity of the job. In other words, choosing the right mode of transportation would save money and satisfy the needs of consumers at any stage of the transaction. If a business prefers a bad mode of transportation, such as driving to transport goods abroad, it will incur additional costs that can be avoided if a better mode of transportation is used. To prevent compromising the transportation method, it is important to use a mode of transportation that can accommodate heavy goods while transporting a more decadent item. If two modes of transportation are capable of performing the function, it is critical to choose the one that will produce the least amount of waste and fulfill the importer's demands in the shortest amount of time.
Since the mode of transportation has an impact on SLM's efficiency and service provision, it must be carefu ...

This document provides an overview of maritime practitioners and chartering markets. It discusses that shipping demand is derived from trade. The dry cargo market relies on a range of vessels for trades like iron ore, coal, grain and timber. Commonly used dry cargo charter parties are Baltime and NYPE, which favor shipowners and charterers, respectively. Time charters and voyage charters are described. Time charters require the owner to provide a ship and crew, while the charterer is responsible for cargo operations. Voyage charters cover a single voyage. The tanker market has separate crude oil and petroleum products trades. Crude oil trades are impacted by Middle East politics while product trades transport refined oils. Chemical carriers require clean
The document discusses shipbreaking procedures and methods. It describes the technical knowledge and physical labor required to dismantle ships. It explains the two main methods: the afloat method near the water and the dry-dock method out of water. The dry-dock method is easier but more expensive. The document then outlines the typical steps taken in scrapping a ship, including removing hazardous materials and disposing of wastes properly.
Freight is payment for transporting goods by ship. There are different types of freight depending on how payment is calculated. Methods of freight pricing depend on cargo type, transport mode, weight, distance and other factors. Shipping services can be charter (tramp) or liner. Charter involves renting a ship for a specific voyage, while liner uses scheduled services along fixed routes. Types of charter include voyage, time, demise and contract of affreightment. Split incentives between ship owners and charterers can reduce energy efficiency.

The garments will be transported to and from Australia by SLM Inc. It has also set a monthly goal for freight units equal to 200 20-foot (TEU) of imports and exports. This paper will now concentrate on a logistics strategy that SLM will use to improve its ability to compete in Australian market segments.
The Products' Physical Characteristics
The cardboard boxes are stacked and boxed; a single box measures 48 inches (4 feet) by 40 inches (3.3 feet). The pallet's longer hand measures 4 feet, which is equivalent to 0.2 TEU when divided by 20. The gross weight planned for shipment is two hundred feet, which is equivalent to twenty TEU. It is made up of wooden boxes that will be shipped in a single crate that measures 4 feet by 3.3 feet wide by 3.5 feet tall. The container's gross volume would be 46 square feet. The load's volume per delivery is less than 1 TEU, so it's considered a small consignment. Small deliveries are compact and can be easily transported without the use of heavy transportation. Big consignments, on the other hand, will exceed 1TEU and, depending on their scale, will necessitate comparatively heavy transport.
Transportation mode
For any logistics firm, choosing the mode of transportation is important because it helps to ensure sustainability, cut costs, and ensure the productivity of the job. In other words, choosing the right mode of transportation would save money and satisfy the needs of consumers at any stage of the transaction. If a business prefers a bad mode of transportation, such as driving to transport goods abroad, it will incur additional costs that can be avoided if a better mode of transportation is used. To prevent compromising the transportation method, it is important to use a mode of transportation that can accommodate heavy goods while transporting a more decadent item. If two modes of transportation are capable of performing the function, it is critical to choose the one that will produce the least amount of waste and fulfill the importer's demands in the shortest amount of time.

This document provides an overview of maritime practitioners and chartering markets. It discusses that shipping demand is derived from trade. The dry cargo market relies on a range of vessels for trades like iron ore, coal, grain and timber. Commonly used dry cargo charter parties are Baltime and NYPE, which favor shipowners and charterers, respectively. Time charters and voyage charters are described. Time charters require the owner to provide a ship and crew, while the charterer is responsible for cargo operations. Voyage charters cover a single voyage. The tanker market has separate crude oil and petroleum products trades. Crude oil trades are impacted by Middle East politics while product trades transport refined oils. Chemical carriers require clean
The document discusses shipbreaking procedures and methods. It describes the technical knowledge and physical labor required to dismantle ships.

The document then outlines the typical steps taken in scrapping a ship, including removing hazardous materials and disposing of wastes properly.
Freight is payment for transporting goods by ship. There are different types of freight depending on how payment is calculated. Methods of freight pricing depend on cargo type, transport mode, weight, distance and other factors. Shipping services can be charter (tramp) or liner. Charter involves renting a ship for a specific voyage, while liner uses scheduled services along fixed routes. Types of charter include voyage, time, demise and contract of affreightment. Split incentives between ship owners and charterers can reduce energy efficiency.

Ocean freights and its benefits ppt
1. Ocean freights and its benefits
AS A SEA FREIGHT FORWARDER AND GLOBAL LOGISTICS
EXPERT, LSC LLC IS ABLE TO DELIVER YOUR
INTERNATIONAL FREIGHT SHIPMENTS ON TIME AND
PROVIDE INNOVATIVE SOLUTIONS TO YOUR
INTERNATIONAL FREIGHT, FREIGHT SHIPPING AND GLOBAL
LOGISTICS PROBLEMS.
2. BENEFITS OF FREIGHT SERVICES
1. Economical
Undoubtedly, the sea freight forwarders in Dubai offers the
most serious cargo expenses for transporters, particularly
over significant distances. By examination, a few appraisals
show that sea cargo delivering costs are for the most part four
to multiple times more affordable than air. With
measurements like this one, it is not difficult to contend that
sea transportation is the least expensive global delivery
choice.
3. 2. Efficiency
Regardless of the size of your shipments, ocean cargo
organizations can normally oblige your necessities. More
modest shipments can be gathered with other freight to fill a
compartment, taking into account cost-sharing of the
transportation administrations. Bigger freight can fill at least
one compartments, offering transporters unequaled mass
choices. Indeed, vessels are the ideal method for moving high
volumes of freight as they are intended to convey a lot of
merchandise or unrefined substances.
4. 3. Oversized, heavy and bulky cargo capability
A significant benefit of ocean cargo delivering is transporting
organizations' capacity to deal with curiously large, weighty or
cumbersome freight – frequently alluded to as break-bulk or
Not in Trailer (NIT) loads. Such freight could incorporate huge
vehicles, hardware, development materials and then some. As
a rule excessively weighty or enormous for airship cargo or
considerably over-the-street transportation, extremely huge
freight isn't an issue on many delivery vessels.
5. 4.Wellbeing
• Ships are intended to convey perilous materials and
hazardous freight securely. The business is
knowledgeable in the treatment of such merchandise
and has guidelines set up to guarantee the wellbeing of
the vessel, team, freight and climate. Freight
misfortune brought about by occurrences during
transportation is consistently dropping as sea security
increments, and has dropped altogether in the
previous decade. Holders are intended to be fixed and
locked during transportation for additional security.
6. 5.Natural amicability
When contrasted with ocean delivery, air and
numerous different types of transportation have a lot
higher carbon impressions – an unequivocal detriment
for the climate. Ships, then again, give the most
carbon-proficient method of transportation and
produce less grams of fumes gas outflows for every
huge load of freight moved than some other shipment
technique. These generally low discharges keep on
declining as innovation propels, new ships come on the
web and as melted petroleum gas (LNG)- fueled
choices are used.
