Unit 1. Commercial aspects of shipping
The main purpose of shipping is the carriage of cargo (liquid, solid) from the place that it was mined, grown or manufactured to the place that it is required. Normally the owner of the cargo does not own transport and therefore he needs to enlist the services of a company that would be willing to carry the cargo for him.
A carrier is one who agrees to carry, on a business basis, goods or persons from one place to another. The law recognizes two kinds of carrier: common carriers; and private carriers.
The commercial aspects of ship operations cover the entire business side of ship acquisition and management. Both the visible and hidden areas are involved, from marketing, where options will have to be identified and evaluated, to financing and purchasing the ship, through to obtaining, safe care and delivery of a cargo, taking account of the constraints imposed by Flag and Port States, insurers and classification and other relevant organizations.
