The Business of Shipping (Paperback, Softcover reprint of the original 1st ed. 1986)

T HIS VOL U M E has been written to describe the business side of a
commercial enterprise whose field is the entire civilized world.
Historically, the theory and knowledge of shipping management, as
distinguished from the practical skills of seaman ship, have been
transmitted from one generation to the next by word of mouth.
Little has been put on paper, primarily because the finest
exponents of the art of steamship management have been too busy
with their day-to-day concerns to do so. The "working level"
personnel often are superbly competent, but rarely qualify as liter
ary craftsmen. It has been my aim, in preparing this analysis of
the principles of the "business" of commercial shipping, to
describe that which trans pires in the various divisions of a
shipowning and operating organi zation. Insofar as possible, the
procedures followed in the offices have been described and
explained, as well as the underlying prin ciples of management by
which their decisions are reached. In the process of learning the
principles and practices that are set forth in these pages, I have
spent ajoy-filled lifetime in associa tion with ships. It has been
my good fortune to work in large and small American steamship
offices, to operate a major cargo termi nal, to participate in
establishing and putting into effect the policies of a
world-girdling American steamship organization, and to teach young
men these principles learned from experience as well as from
precept."
