The Institute of Chartered Shipbrokers is charged under its Royal Charter with the dissemination of knowledge, the maintenance of standards, and the provision of a professional qualification. In the dynamic field of international trade and shipping business this is a challenging task.
The Institute has members and students in some 70 countries involved in all aspects of shipping, and its professional qualification is recognised worldwide.
The professional needs to have an understanding of the business environment in which he or she operates. It is also essential to have the ability to analyse the commercial implications of their and others actions as well as the capacity to cope with change.
It is in this context that The Institute made the decision to publish a series of shipping business text books. These combine both theory and practice, and intend to serve the practitioners within the mainstream of shipping business as well as students at college and university and those studying for professional examinations.
The authors contributing to the series are all experienced practitioners in their specific area of shipping business. Therefore in the increasingly pressured sphere of international seaborne trade this series of text books on the major disciplines within maritime commerce make a wide range of expertise accessible to those whose business is, or will be, shipping.
