Intended as a basic text on ocean shipping, this book provides a basis for understanding how the industry functions and the problems and issues that arise because of its international character. Dr. Abrahamsson makes no attempt to judge the relative merits of various developments, arguments, or positions; rather, he explains concepts and principles and clarifies the interrelationships among various aspects of shipping. The first four chapters include general concepts applicable to all modes of transportation, which are then applied specifically to ocean shipping. The book goes on to cover economic, technological, legal, political, and institutional developments and relationships in the ocean shipping industry.
