  • Chapter 17. Shipping Contributors: Alan Simcock (Lead Member)
    Chapter 17. Shipping Contributors: Alan Simcock (Lead member) and Osman Keh Kamara (Co-Lead member) 1. Introduction For at least the past 4,000 years, shipping has been fundamental to the development of civilization. On the sea or by inland waterways, it has provided the dominant way of moving large quantities of goods, and it continues to do so over long distances. From at least as early as 2000 BCE, the spice routes through the Indian Ocean and its adjacent seas provided not merely for the first long-distance trading, but also for the transport of ideas and beliefs. From 1000 BCE to the 13th century CE, the Polynesian voyages across the Pacific completed human settlement of the globe. From the 15th century, the development of trade routes across and between the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans transformed the world. The introduction of the steamship in the early 19th century produced an increase of several orders of magnitude in the amount of world trade, and started the process of globalization. The demands of the shipping trade generated modern business methods from insurance to international finance, led to advances in mechanical and civil engineering, and created new sciences to meet the needs of navigation. The last half-century has seen developments as significant as anything before in the history of shipping. Between 1970 and 2012, seaborne carriage of oil and gas nearly doubled (98 per cent), that of general cargo quadrupled (411 per cent), and that of grain and minerals nearly quintupled (495 per cent) (UNCTAD, 2013). Conventionally, around 90 per cent of international trade by volume is said to be carried by sea (IMO, 2012), but one study suggests that the true figure in 2006 was more likely around 75 per cent in terms of tons carried and 59 per cent by value (Mandryk, 2009).

  • Transport Document in Road Freight Transport – Paper Versus Electronic Consignment Note Cmr
    The Archives of Automotive Engineering – Archiwum Motoryzacji Vol. 90, No. 4, 2020 45 TRANSPORT DOCUMENT IN ROAD FREIGHT TRANSPORT – PAPER VERSUS ELECTRONIC CONSIGNMENT NOTE CMR MILOŠ POLIAK1, JANA TOMICOVÁ2 Abstract The contract of carriage in road freight transport is regulated by the Convention on the Contract of Carriage in Road Freight Transport (CMR Convention). This Convention provides for a single accompanying document - the CMR consignment note. It is one of the most important documents in road freight transport. Since the adoption of the Convention, this paper document has accompanied the goods throughout the transport. Given that time goes on and everything is being modernized, digitized is no different in the case of a consignment note. In 2008, an Additional Protocol was adopted, which allows the use of an electronic consignment note instead of a paper consignment note. The aim of this paper is to analyze the most important document in road freight transport in its paper and electronic form. Another aim is to compare the paper and electronic consignment note, to explain the advantages of its introduction and also to explain why it is not widely used in modern times. The introduction to the article describes the benefits of adopting the CMR Convention. In the following chapters, the consignment note in paper and electronic form is described in more detail, their significance, and their course of use. The article also presents the main advantages of introducing an electronic consignment note and the reasons why the electronic consignment note is not used as much as paper consignment note. Keywords: road freight transport; CMR Convention; CMR consignment note; e-CMR 1.

  • Global Shipping: Choosing the Best Method of Transport
    Global Shipping: Choosing the Best Method of Transport When shipping freight internationally, it’s important to choose the appropriate mode of transportation to ensure your products arrive on time and at the right cost. Your decision to ship by land, sea, or air depends on a careful evaluation of business needs and a comparison of the benefits each method affords. Picking the best possible mode of transportation is critical to export success. Shipping by truck Shipping by truck is a popular method of freight transport used worldwide, though speed and quality of service decline outside of industrialized areas. Even if you choose to ship your products by sea or air, a truck is usually responsible for delivering the goods from the port of arrival to their final destination. When shipping by truck, the size of your shipment will determine whether you need less- than-truckload (LTL) or truckload (TL) freight. LTL involves smaller orders, and makes up the majority of freight shipments. The average piece of LTL freight weighs about 1,200 pounds and is the size of a single pallet. However, LTL freight can range from 100 to 15,000 pounds. Beyond this limit, your shipment is likely to be classified as truckload freight. It is more economical for large shipments to utilize the space and resources of a single motor carrier, instead of being mixed with other shipments and reloaded into several different vehicles along the route. TL providers generally charge a ‘per mile’ rate, which can vary depending on distance, items being shipped, equipment, and service times.
