As the lifeblood of global economic vitality, global liner shipping contributes significantly to international stability and security. Additionally, as a major global enterprise in its own right, the international shipping industry is a major employer and contributes hundreds of billions of dollars to the global economy annually. Liner vessels carry about 60 percent of the goods by value moved internationally by sea each year. Global Liner Shipping fills a gap in the market for an introductory book covering every aspect of this essential industry.

Global Liner Shipping examines an industry where operations often do not go as planned, so skilled people are in demand. Bad weather causes delays, ports face unexpected closures due to strikes and the much-needed paperwork for the myriad of containers might be based on faulty information. Even worse, the entire flow might come to a temporary halt as seen in late June 2017 when the world's largest container shipping line, Maersk Line, was effectively shut down due to a cyber attack. In this groundbreaking book, Lars Jensen covers topics such as network development, supply and demand analysis, collaboration, liner profit and loss, e-commerce, risk management and process management. Each chapter ends with a case study and reflective questions.
