Knowledge of the players and an insight in the logistics processes within international trade and (port) logistics are vital prerequisites for anyone who operates in international trade or ports or would like to do so, for example as a FREIGHT FORWARDER, EXPORT PROFESSIONAL or SHIPS AGENT. This book discusses and explains the parties involved and the processes in international trade and ports. Apart from that, the INCOTERMS 2010 ®, payment conditions like the L/C and specific subjects such as carrier/merchant haulage, the business model of the NVOCC, container demurrage, THC, CAF & BAF rates and international transport documents like the BILL of LADING are also covered. In this book, a lot of schemes and figures are used to illustrate reality in a clear, concise manner. It is intended for anyone who would like to know more about logistics and logistical processes in trade and in and around ports and can be taught in various (logistics) classes and at different levels of vocational‐ and higher education (associate/bachelors degree).
