Maritime transport is the transport of people or goods by water. It is the backbone of world trade and globalization. Twenty-four hours a day and all year round, ships carry cargoes to all corners of the globe.

Maritime Transport focuses on the operational side of this important industry, covering many topics such as sea traffic currents, passenger transport, short sea shipping and dangerous cargoes.

Parts one and two of Maritime Transport present the concepts, theory and background information, then part three presents more complex and deeper issues such as the maritime transportation of the future. It covers topics such as intelligent shipping, data exchange at sea and maritime security. In addition, the book includes fascinating case studies and examples, such as maritime transport in the Baltic sea, ship strategies in Norway and Greece and the benefits of slow steaming. At the end of each chapter there are questions that will help students to gain a deeper understanding of the many topics covered.

Reviews for Maritime Transport: Shipping Logistics and Operations

Most textbooks in maritime transport and maritime economics takes a port-to-port and shipowners' perspective. Technical, market and financial aspects dominate. Maritime Transport delivers this knowledge but more importantly it succeeds in putting shipping into a proper logistics context. It addresses the question why, and not only how, shipping is important for business and the wider society. Another feature of many maritime transport and economics books is the focus on deep-sea shipping, whereas this book also adds to our knowledge of short-sea shipping in a real-world context. --Johan Woxenius, Professor of Maritime Transport Management & Logistics, University of Gothenburg This book fills a gap for those who need to understand the nature of maritime transportation in the context of the Baltic Sea region. Seafaring in the Baltic Sea is different from the oceans, which affects the operational conditions of shipping companies, port operations and maritime authorities. A detailed outlook for these special conditions has been missing. --Dr Jouni Lappalainen, Head of Team, Analysis, Statistics and Studies, Finnish Transport and Communications Agency This book is a must read for people interested in maritime logistics and specific developments in the sector in North Europe. The author has a unique background, combining academia and business, which can be seen in this edition through the numerous practical examples and consistent argument throughout. Risks, complexity and the details of shipping are often overlooked matters, but Maritime Transport makes significant efforts here to explain these issues for everyone. --Olli-Pekka Hilmola, Professor, LUT University & Taltech, Estonian Maritime Academy In Maritime Transport, the author expertly examines the European short sea operation and its related key businesses elements. The book makes it clear how important shipping is as a part of logistics. This book serves as a good introduction to people new to maritime and a handy refence source to those more familiar with it. --Vesa Marttinen, Director, Cruise & Ferry Business, Wartsila
