    ANNOTATION
    My presentation is about Maritime transport in Supply Chain Management. I will briefly
    describe the structure of this industry, name classes of vessels and common ship types, represent
    statistics of several facts in maritime transportations and summarize everything outlining key
    advantages and disadvantages of this mean of transport.

    SUMMARY
    Maritime transportations in SCM
    Its known that 90% of the worlds international trade is transported by sea. Maritime transport is
    the most convenient way of sending high-volume imperishable cargoes. Of course there are some
    disadvantages of this mode of transport: for example, sea-freights are really slow, thats why they
    are often delayed.
    In the structure of this industry there are formal groups of shipping lines that operate on certain
    shipping routes, called liner conferences. The role of shipping lines in the process of transporting
    goods is to provide companies with necessary means. However, with all important matters will
    deal a ship's operator. His responsibilities include: providing stuff with food, controlling repair
    works, dealing with customs etc. Not the last place in the structure of industry take freight
    forwarders, who mostly watch and control movements of goods trough all distances.
    Here are some special terms and abbreviations, regularly used in a sea-freight area: full container
    load(FCL), less than container load(LCL), hook to hook, liner in, liner out, break bulk cargo,
    stowage plan, lost slots, TEU, FEU etc.
    Prices on such deliveries are usually quoted in US$ or . However, in addition to this price
    special surcharges (BAF, CAF, PSS, repositioning charge, war risk surcharge) can be applied.
    Of course, an important role in maritime transportations plays documentation, required by
    customer as well as government. They include bills of lading, letters of credit, certificate of
    origin, commercial invoices, packing lists etc.
    Vessels are classified by special organizations in order to establish the class, age and minimum
    standard of maintenance of it by a shipping line. Every craft should have a license given by the
    government. There are such ships classes as: handysize, handymax, aframax, suezmax,
    panamax, VLCC, ULCC, capesize.
    Talking about common ship types we can cover cellular container vessel, break bulk freighter,
    roro vessel, LNG vessel, oil tanker, specialized heavy lift vessel, dry bulk carrier. Their cargoes
    depends on types of vessels. For example CCV is designed for ISO shipping containers
    transportations whereas roro vessel is used to carry wheeled vehicles.
    Before sent a cargo to any port, its important to know all available handling facilities: not all the
    ports can handle all types of cargo. Lots surcharges and extra offers depends on the port and its
    place.
