CARGO HANDLING--THE UNCERTAIN INTERFACE
Containerisation, ro-ro and barge aboard ship, competition from the air, sophisticated costing of the freight element of marketing--all have served to make the shipowner and forwarder work harder for his traffic. But the opportunities are there. The author, a leading consultant in freighting management, examines the transport mode and the consignee's influence on it.
