Course Objectives: This course examines the characteristics and role of shipping services in the design and management of international logistics systems. International shipping is very important to Turkey’s international trade position. Understanding of the shipping concepts and economics is still very important for the accurate pricing of Turkey’s export goods. In the case of containers, shipping conferences and cartels operate under a fixed price system. The history and advantages and disadvantages of this uniquely legal combine are also explored in depth.
