Changing vessel technology presents a major challenge to shipping
manufacturers. A change in vessel design can require major
modifications of port facilities, information systems, and
marketing techniques. While shippers must be ready to make
changes in order to be competitive, they must be careful to
choose technology that can be successfully and economically
implemented in their market environment.

This volume examines the vessel technology issues that shipping
companies are confronting. Case studies are presented for liner
shipping, liquid and dry bulk shipping, and the ship-port
interface. The cases, based on actual industry situations,
explore management's options with and decisions on essential
aspects of changing vessel technology. Specific technologies are
described along with their economic, regulatory, and political
implications.
