"Maritime Logistics, now in its third edition, provides its readers with a comprehensive coverage of the maritime logistics industry. Well respected contributors from around the world provide detailed insights into key aspects of the industry and how it is evolving to meeting rapidly changing global conditions. I am sure this won't be the last edition as it remains to be seen how maritime logistics, and indeed the supply chains that rely on it, will transform themselves to achieve carbon neutrality by 2050. Indeed, the pace of change is now so rapid that readers are advised to digest this book before it is superseded by the fourth edition."
