"Maria Burns has done it again! In this first class Port Management and Maritime resource book, she demonstrates once more her ability to blend practical and useful information into a compilation of real-world commercial scenarios. This innovative approach will make this book a scientific and commercial success!" Niels A. Aalund, Senior Vice President, West Gulf Maritime Association; and Chairman, Houston Maritime Museum "Professor Burns has meticulously authored a book with knowledge and enthusiasm. She efficiently takes the pulse of the supply chain, consisting of canals, ports, ship owners, and the global logistics networks, in an effort to identify the current and future trends. ... manages to bring together a plethora of disciplines, sciences, and concepts, and explain the reason for the industry's developments over different time periods. Under the principle that history repeats itself, her comprehensive examination of past trends can be used by the readers as a useful tool to speculate potential future developments." --Yira A. Flores Naylor, Communications and Historic Documentation Section, Panama Canal Authorities "In such a hectic and complicated world of global trade, Professor Burns succeeds in doing the almost impossible--giving a powerful and up-to-date description and forecast on the subject, that no port manager at any level can afford to miss." --Mendi Zaltzman, CEO, Port of Haifa, Israel "... maps out the multidisciplinary practices of port management and operations, as well as the distinctive contribution of the shipping industry to the global economy, through trade and development. ... The outstanding contribution of this book is to reveal the role of seaports as a critical component of modern supply chains, enhanced with guidance into the significance of strategic and tactical port planning, modern maritime professions, working practices, and trends that are frequently only vaguely understood, if not completely overlooked. ... a well-written expository book of port management and shipping practices, which is truly accessible to everyone." --Nicky Pappadakis, President Emeritus, Intercargo "The author extols the key role of the shipping industry and ports as a point of creation, investment, and as a tool of prosperity and job opportunity in general. An approach of this kind is innovative, informative, and of great value for maritime professionals--I highly recommend this book!" -- Captain Sotiris Shinas, Marine Manager of EURONAV and Deputy Marine Division Director of CERES Hellenic Shipping, Professor Burns has meticulously authored a book with knowledge and enthusiasm.

Synopsis
With 80 percent of the world's commodities being transported by water, ports are the pillars of the global economy. Port Management and Operations offers readers the opportunity to enhance their strategic thinking and problem-solving skills, while developing market foresight. It examines global port management practices at the regulatory, commercial, technological, operational, financial, and sociopolitical levels. This powerful sourcebook describes how seaports are being affected by the changes occurring nationally, regionally, and globally. Evaluating the new regulatory framework, it pinpoints the industry's implementation readiness and identifies potential problem areas. The book classifies the spectrum of interrelated port management principles, strategies, and activities in a logical sequence and under four cornerstones--Port Strategy and Structure, Legal and Regulatory Framework, Input: Factors of Production, and Output and Economic Framework. Detailing best practices and the latest industry developments, the book highlights emerging challenges for port managers and identifies opportunities to develop forward-thinking strategies. It examines the effectiveness of current strategies, tactics, tools, and resources of numerous global ports and highlights the necessity of adopting a proactive stance in harmonizing the laws, regulations, and policies pertaining to the maritime, oil, and gas industries. The shipping industry has myriad complexities and this book provides maritime managers and professionals with the wide-ranging and up-to-date understanding required to thrive in today's highly competitive and evolving environment.

- m***l (343)- Feedback left by buyer.Past monthVerified purchaseFaster shipping than expected. Packaged well. Binding was a little more worn than picture could show. Price was fair.
- a***a (101)- Feedback left by buyer.Past monthVerified purchaseBUYER BEWARE Product was listed as NEW. It was absolutely not new! Box didn't even have a full top on it, a portion was just covered with paper. The remainder of the box was all bent up and had duct tape all around it. The product itself was dirty and had no original packing. So very disappointed. Initial contact with the seller prior to purchase was responded to immediately. After receiving the product and contacting the seller advising of my disappointment, I received no response at all.
- d***a (2887)- Feedback left by buyer.Past monthVerified purchaseA superb album from a terrific seller. Shipping was ultra fast and the packaging was easy to open once I got the hang of it. I would buy from King Lorenzo again. Thank you for your excellent service meant for a queen, which I am as you know.
