Opis

Grain is one of the most important commodities shipped around the world and one of the most unpredictable markets to trade in. This publication combines an overview of the market, the problems of carriage by sea and the legislative environment. Analysis of grain production and consumption, trading characteristics, major producers and the role of shipbrokers is provided in the first part. The second part deals with the particulars of grain carriage by sea, discussing the types of ships used, surveys carried out, explanation of charterparty agreements, grain handling equipment at ports and onboard and arbitration which is taken a step further in the third part which deals with the legislation concerning grain carriage by sea. The book should be of value to shipowners, charterers, shipbrokers, commodity traders in grain, surveyors, port authorities, insurance companies and lawyers.
