Description
A Guide to Port and Terminal Management by Captain Bill Chalmers offers readers insight into how ports and terminals operate. It starts with the port’s role in cargo transport and how increased size and complexity affect organization and operations.
The book is aimed at students and port employees who wish to understand more than their specific area of work. Various port types, equipment, and processes are presented, along with aspects of management that the reader may not encounter in their daily position.
The presentation is tailored to the curriculum and examinations in Port and Terminal Management at the Institute of Chartered Shipbrokers. It can be used as supplementary reading for these exams and other relevant educational programs.
The author has extensive experience in shipping and port activities. The book is therefore relevant for professional development in the workplace and for readers who want to build a comprehensive understanding of the interaction between ships, cargo, and terminals.
The publication is in English and is published by Brown, Son & Ferguson Ltd. Published 2020. ISBN: 9781849270939.
