Dear Friend,
The factors influencing the shipper's choice of shipping transport mode has changed dramatically during the past decade. Largely due to the effects of globalization, proliferation of market sentiments and the invasion of e-commerce.
Today, is based on the total product concept embracing the constituents of distribution logistically driven with the effectiveness of global supply chain management. These include reliability, frequency, cost, time frame, capital layout and human intervention. The paramount consideration is for the ship-owner to emphasize with the cargo-owner and strive to become more flexible and responsive to the end customer's needs on an innovative value-added orientation.
One of many critical factors affecting the global importer and exporter is the gap between shipping fundamentals and trade documentation effectiveness.
Trade is moves by paper (an option of the soft or hard copy), notwithstanding the fact of prevailing e-commerce. Hence, the commercial invoice which lead to the issuance of the bill of lading need to be scrutinized even before the start of the voyage.
