Ocean Freight Process

Mary Linn of Ocean Carriers is evaluating the purchase of a new capesize carrier for a 3-year lease proposed by a motivated customer. The leasing contract offers very attractive terms, but no ship in Ocean Carrier’s current fleet meets the customer’s needs. In addition, the proposed contract with the customer is only for three years. Therefore, after three years, the

from PMI Colleges (formerly known as Philippine Maritime Institute). She first worked on a freight forwarding company and started from scratch because she was an inexperienced in freight forwarding, and is now the owner or General Manager of Master Container Lines and Master Container Lines Trucking.

Ocean Carriers is evaluating a proposed lease for a ship over three years starting in 2003. Currently, Ocean Carriers does not have any ships that are available to meet this customer demand. This report will assist VP of Finance Mary Lynn to make a decision on whether or not to commission a new carrier and how long to hold on to this asset.

With the years of development of trades between Silk Roads and the Indian Ocean, both went through some changes along with being tied to each other. For the silk roads, Roman and Egyptian Jews would travel through the silk roads as they were the most common traders. Although for the Indian ocean Muslim traders had dominated the sea. The world's shipping lanes was the Indian ocean during the years 1100-1500 A.D, as Arab sailors soon were masters of the sea trade in the ocean. When northern groups had taken over parts of silk routes, sea trades were taken as they were alternate paths.This resulted in Chinese becoming masters of ship building and merchants creating new trade routes and a new credit system. When the Song dynasty came, silk roads were becoming less common in use of trade as sea trades were becoming more common as they were much cheaper and safer. Trades in the Indian Ocean was not only becoming more common just because of the conditions, but also because of the hajj where Muslims were supposed to travel at least once in their lifetime to

The Indian Ocean has always been a power trading region, a passageway between​ regions of the world that enfluenced the spread of languages, religion, and even people along with econmic views and technology. During the rise and fall of important empires, trade routes have changed and domination has changed hands plenty of times over history. While the goods traded have stayed about the same, the traders and the powers behind them changed from 7th to 17th century.

That has been what I have been doing on the ship for the last year. It wasn’t always just me doing this; I am the last member of my crew on its way back to earth. My crew, my friends, my family, all gone and I don’t even know how it happened. Maybe it happened when they were on there way back from the surface or maybe something went wrong on the ship ether way, all that’s left of the explosion is a big hole in the shuttle bay and a lot of gamma radiation. In fact the gamma rays are the only thing keeping me from investigating the area.

Other than his mom dying when he was 17, Shipman had a pretty normal life.The question of why he killed so many of his patients still remains a mystery today. However, there are some conclusions people have made. Some believe it was because he witnessed his mother’s suffering and believed that sudden death at the end of a trusted and friendly physician’s syringe was a preferable option, others say that he hated women (most of his patients were women) for some unusual reason, or that he was obsessed with power-power that was perhaps exemplified by his choosing the time and manner of his own death and ultimately frustrating those who wanted to know “why”?

This chapter follows his first observations as Commander and the immediate actions he sought to implement. He notes that the crew seemed relieved by the departing Commander and realized that he must come up with a new leadership model to reach his crew. As he noted in the introduction that high percentage of turnover among crew bothered him and he notes some trends in society that contribute to this problem. The long economic boom had made most people unafraid of losing their jobs, or finding new ones. Thus he believed it manager 's challenge to retain them by motivating them to "work with passion, energy, and enthusiasm." (p.12) By reading over the exit surveys he assumed as many that low pay was a main reason for people leaving, but was shocked when it was in fact 5th. The top four are strikingly similar to the slide we studied in class on "What Associates Want from Their Job" in wanting appreciation, ability to make impact, not being listened to, and more responsibility. This helped him understand his crew better and try to "see the ship through the eyes of the crew." (p.13) He encouraged his crew to challenge the way in which they carried out their jobs by asking, "Is there a better way to do what you do?" If so, then he wanted them to take the responsibility one their own to implement the change, unless it involved major implications.

There are three importation items you must provide for your freight forwarder. They are a copy:

The use of containerization in freight movement has greatly reduced the cost and labor associated with moving freight. However, you highlighted something that is not often seen in the books, but in the field. The charges associated with the movement of freight intermodal is often combined into one charge for all modes of transportation used. For example, a shipment can be moved to the port via truck or rail, then placed on a ship to an overseas location, and finally trucked to its destination and the shipping charges would be on one shipping bill of lading. With freight shipments being consigned to one bill of lading no matter how many shipment modes used, does this make the payment process easier?

Slide 2: The ocean is in constant motion. Seeing yourself watching waves crash onto the shore. Going swimming, feeling an ocean current pulling you along. Surface currents, such as the Gulf Stream, determine our weather and much more. Various wind patterns power the the Earth’s surface currents.

Liquid bulk chemicals and other hazardous materials have the potential to be dangerous to public health and safety, as well as property during transportation. Due to inherent the risks involved, the handling of hazardous materials is heavily regulated by all levels of government. Shippers, carriers, and drivers are required to communicate to the public using four basic communication tools.

After AFI purchase the product (oil), AFI will do booking shipment with the PEL. They as agent of haulage and forwarder. They contact shipping liner sent the empty container to the yard of TA. After complete loading they will prepare us a Bill of Lading and Clean On Board to AFI.

According to Waters (2010) water transport has not been used to it’s full potential therefore there has been a decline in sea transport, this is due to the lack of proper terminals. But according to Harrison & Fichtinger (2013) containerised ocean transport has become the lifeline of nearly all global supply chain, because of the increased amount of global processes, outsourcing and offshoring. Mason & Nair (2013) states that today, there are more than 80% of world trade by sea, such as raw materials and manufacturing outputs are carried inter-regionally around the globe.
