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.

Learning Outcomes

The students who have succeeded in this course;
Upon successful completion of this course, students will have the knowledge and skills to think independently but logically about current and prospective issues and developments in international shipping and logistics.

Course Content

This course focuses on the commercial and logistics environment in which maritime transport operates. You will analyse the commercial operation of ships in the bulk and liner shipping freight markets and the role of maritime transport in global supply chains.
