Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Maritime transport flows are the lifeblood of global trade. They are also the dominant means of transporting a range of potentially destabilizing commodities that threaten states and societies throughout the developing and developed worlds. Maritime transport is the preferred mode for this clandestine trade not least because the high seas are the most difficult areas of our planet to monitor or regulate. No state effectively controls the vastness of this territory; despite advances in the application of satellite and ship monitoring technologies and enhanced information sharing in certain areas, much remains unknown. This SIPRI Policy Paper aims to fill a crucial knowledge gap by, for the first time in a public document, providing an analysis of the ships involved in the transport of some of the most destabilizing commodities: narcotics, arms and dual-use goods essential to the development of weapons of mass destruction. It also identifies 'choke points' and weaknesses in trafficking techniques, which, if the political will and requisite resources exist, can be exploited to better prevent destabilizing maritime transfers. The study further recommends actions that could be implemented at relatively low cost, using existing mechanisms, but that could have major and lasting benefits for global economic and human security. Through this study, the authors offer a much-needed focus on and practical solutions to one of the most important global security challenges for policymakers, civil society and industry in the 21st century.
Download or read book Ocean Bills of Lading written by A. Athanassios N. Yiannopoulos and published by Martinus Nijhoff Publishers. This book was released on 1995-01-01 with total page 316 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The main thrust of this volume is the use of electronic bills of lading in lieu of the traditional documents. The advantages of electronic bills of lading are many, including lower cost, higher efficiency, improved security, and speedier delivery of goods at the end of the voyage (the collection of reports focus upon bills of lading for the international carriage of goods by sea). According to the contributors, the use of electronic bills of lading is, essentially, a business rather than a legal decision. The law may provide the legal framework for the function of electronic bills of lading in the same way and with the same effects as the traditional bills of lading. However, business interests will eventually determine whether the availability of, and the economic incentives for, the use of the electronic bills of lading outweigh concerns for privacy and the safeguarding of trade secrets, for accuracy of information, and for security transactions and acquisition. Such concerns call for technological rather than legal solutions. This book ahould appeal primarily to practitioners who are interested in economics and commerce.

Download or read book Integrating Seaports and Trade Corridors written by Robert J. McCalla and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2016-05-23 with total page 311 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Seaport gateways and the corridors which connect them to widely dispersed hinterlands are of vital and essential importance to international trade and the world economy. Distributing goods to ultimate land destinations or bringing the goods to seaports from inland origins is organizationally complex involving multiple actors. This book furthers understanding about how this movement is organized, the role of ports acting as gateways and the actions of corridor players. A key question that confronts the shipping and port industries, as well as public authorities, is how to increase the benefits of maritime trade to the companies and institutions directly involved as well as the port city-regions where the transfers take place? This question is being posed in the midst of a global economic recession and trade downturn, and in the context of contemporary policy frameworks whose goals are to generate economic benefits and efficiencies rather than to maximize traffic volumes. This book puts into perspective the reality, opportunities and challenges facing seaport gateways and corridors now and in the future.

Download or read book The Bill of Lading written by Frank Stevens and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2017-12-14 with total page 238 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The carriage of goods by sea starts off with a contract of carriage, an essentially simple and straightforward contract between two parties, the shipper and the carrier. Very often, however, a bill of lading is issued and a third party appears on the scene: the holder of the bill of lading. The holder was not involved in the making of the contract of carriage, but does have rights, and possibly obligations, against the carrier at destination. The question then is how the third-party holder of the bill acquires those rights and obligations. Analysing the different theories that have been proposed to explain the position of the third party holder, this book makes a distinction between contractual theories and non-contractual theories to explain the holder's position. Contractual theories build on the initial contract of carriage and apply contract law mechanisms while non-contractual theories construe the position of the third-party holder independently. Following the analysis and appraisal of the different theories, this book makes the case that the position of the third-party holder of the bill of lading is not obvious or self-evident; and submits that a statutory approach to the position of the holder of the bill of lading has advantages and would be preferable.
