Transhipment & Feedering - Trades, Operators, Ships

Bharat Book.com is glad to promote a new report on the Transhipment & Feedering - Trades, Operators, Ships.
This September 2007 report “Transhipment & Feedering - Trades, Operators, Ships” builds on the previous publication
(as well as various updated presentations by the author, Mr. Dirk Visser), and completed with recent in-depth analyses
of all aspects of the worldwide transhipment and feedering markets (http://www.bharatbook.com/detail.asp?id=57128)


The reader is offered an insight into a huge port activity and maritime industry that lubricate the modern container
liner trades and without which globalisation could not reach the out-of-the-way places of this world. Contrary to the
general perception, the common feedership is still not much larger than 700 TEU on average - those deployed by
dedicated operators are still under 1,200 TEU only. Together, they lift a huge volume, which is out of the official statistics,
but can be estimated at well over 35 million TEU worldwide in 2006.The publication contains five main sections:
