Changing vessel technology presents a major challenge to
shipping manufacturers. A change in vessel design can require major
modifications of port facilities, information systems, and
marketing techniques. While shippers must be ready to make changes
in order to be competitive, they must be careful to choose
technology that can be successfully and economically implemented in
their market environment.
This volume examines the vessel technology issues that shipping
companies are confronting. Case studies are presented for liner
shipping, liquid and dry bulk shipping, and the ship-port
interface. The cases, based on actual industry situations, explore
management's options with and decisions on essential aspects of
changing vessel technology. Specific technologies are described
along with their economic, regulatory, and political
implications.
