Trade Review

“This comprehensive and up-to-date book is a fine contribution to the maritime economics literature, and will surely be the standard reference in the field for a number of years. I have been teaching Maritime Economics and Logistics course for advanced undergraduate/graduate students at UBC and have been searching for a proper reference textbook. With the publication of this book, my search ends happily.” (Expofairs.com, 1 September 2012)
