Transportation 

Logistics providers often use ships, trucks and aircraft in different combinations when a destination cannot be reached by a single mode of transport alone. Now, here is a complete reference to multimodel transport: regulations and conventions, liability and insurances issues, special project transport operations and the alternatives when plans fail due to unforeseen circumstances.

The Practitioner's Definitive Guide: Multimodal Transport is specially written for freight forwarding personnel and those joining the industry, and also serves as a useful guide to anyone who needs to arrange transport for shipments. It provides comprehensive information on current practices, along with real-life case studies to illustrate actual field applications.

The book includes topics such as:

liability of the multimodal transport operator and its limits

combinations of transport modes (sea-air, air-road, piggyback, land-sea-land, among others)

special transport operations (delivering power plant equipments, helicopters, household goods)

insurance issues and excluded perils

thinking in alternatives - what happens when there is a strike or port congestion?

the conventions and regulations in force today

documentation (bill of lading, FIATA transport documents, air waybill, sea waybill)

the role of ASEAN

Commissioned by the Singapore Logistics Association, The Practitioner's Definitive Guide: Multimodal Transport is the ideal reference or textbook for the practitioner, student and layperson. - from Amzon
