The shipping business is lesser known but extremely influential element of the global economy. Most people outside the shipping business know about the historic ship owners and their exotic life stories. However, the shipping business of today is very professional and integrated with many industries. This book provides a snapshot of the shipping business with micro foundations from the perspective of behavioral economics.

Rather than spending a great deal of time reading many books or consulting costly advisors about fundamental issues, readers can quickly and easily find...

The applications of hydrodynamics to naval architecture and marine engineering expanded dramatically in the 1960s and 1970s. This classic textbook, originally published in 1977, filled the need for a single volume on the applications of hydrodynamics to marine problems. The book is solidly based on fundamentals, but it also guides the student to an understanding of engineering applications through its consideration of realistic configurations. The book takes a balanced approach between theory and empirics, providing the necessary theoretical background for an intelligent evaluation and...

Liner Ship Fleet Planning: Models and Algorithms systematically introduces the latest research on modeling and optimization for liner ship fleet planning with demand uncertainty. Container shipping companies have struggled since the financial crisis of 2007-2008, making it critical for them to make informed decisions about their fleet planning and development.

Current and future shipping professionals require systematic approaches for investigating and solving their fleet planning problems, as well as methodologies for addressing their other shipping responsibilities....

Transportation Policy and Economic Regulation: Essays in Honor of Theodore Keeler addresses pressing transportation issues--such as cabotage in air transport--providing understanding of the effectiveness of current and proposed policy. The book examines new policies, such as global airline deregulation and competitive bidding, across all major transportation modes. The book evaluates the economic impact and effectiveness of various policies, employing empirical analyses and new estimation techniques, such as Bayesian analysis. The book is designed for transportation professionals...
