Maritime Transport and Destabilizing Commodity Flows
Author: Hugh Stewart Wallace GriffithsPublisher:
ISBN: 9789185114719
Category : Arms control
Languages : en
Pages : 51
Book Description
Maritime transport flows are the lifeblood of global trade. They are also the dominant means of transporting a range of potentially destabilizing commodities that threaten states and societies throughout the developing and developed worlds. Maritime transport is the preferred mode for this clandestine trade not least because the high seas are the most difficult areas of our planet to monitor or regulate. No state effectively controls the vastness of this territory; despite advances in the application of satellite and ship monitoring technologies and enhanced information sharing in certain areas, much remains unknown. This SIPRI Policy Paper aims to fill a crucial knowledge gap by, for the first time in a public document, providing an analysis of the ships involved in the transport of some of the most destabilizing commodities: narcotics, arms and dual-use goods essential to the development of weapons of mass destruction. It also identifies 'choke points' and weaknesses in trafficking techniques, which, if the political will and requisite resources exist, can be exploited to better prevent destabilizing maritime transfers. The study further recommends actions that could be implemented at relatively low cost, using existing mechanisms, but that could have major and lasting benefits for global economic and human security. Through this study, the authors offer a much-needed focus on and practical solutions to one of the most important global security challenges for policymakers, civil society and industry in the 21st century.
Review of Maritime Transport 2012

Book Description
More than 80 per cent of international trade in goods is carried by sea, and an even higher percentage of developing-country trade is carried in ships. This annual publication is an important source of information on this vital sector. It closely monitors developments affecting world seaborne trade, freight rates, ports, surface transport, and logistics services, as well as trends in ship ownership and control and fleet age, tonnage supply, and productivity. The Review contains a chapter on legal and regulatory developments and each year includes a chapter highlighting a different region.
Maritime Transport Services in the Law of the Sea and the World Trade Organization
Author: Chuyang LiuPublisher: Peter Lang
ISBN: 9783034300995
Category : Law
Languages : en
Pages : 342
Book Description
Since the beginnings of international law, the law of the sea has been of paramount importance for international trade. Yet this area of law and international trade regulations have developed as two distinct areas with little interface with each other. As the GATT/WTO emerged in parallel to the LOS Convention since the 1970s, both bodies have made extensive efforts in international treaty making. However, the relationship between trade regulations and the law of the sea has hardly been explored. The author examines some key aspects of this relationship, in particular port entry, access to cargo in coastal shipping (cabotage) and access to cargo in international shipping. The inclusion of services in WTO law will render this relationship of great importance in the future as the agreement extensively covers maritime transport. It is just a matter of time until the current exclusion of maritime transport under special exemptions will be reviewed in future negotiations. The book provides the background and a normative basis for approaching some of the problems which members of the WTO will have to address in coming years. It also deals briefly with the problem of choice of law and competing jurisdictions between trade law and maritime law.

The Geography of Transport Systems
Author: Jean-Paul RodriguePublisher: Routledge
ISBN: 1136777326
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 432
Book Description
Mobility is fundamental to economic and social activities such as commuting, manufacturing, or supplying energy. Each movement has an origin, a potential set of intermediate locations, a destination, and a nature which is linked with geographical attributes. Transport systems composed of infrastructures, modes and terminals are so embedded in the socio-economic life of individuals, institutions and corporations that they are often invisible to the consumer. This is paradoxical as the perceived invisibility of transportation is derived from its efficiency. Understanding how mobility is linked with geography is main the purpose of this book. The third edition of The Geography of Transport Systems has been revised and updated to provide an overview of the spatial aspects of transportation. This text provides greater discussion of security, energy, green logistics, as well as new and updated case studies, a revised content structure, and new figures. Each chapter covers a specific conceptual dimension including networks, modes, terminals, freight transportation, urban transportation and environmental impacts. A final chapter contains core methodologies linked with transport geography such as accessibility, spatial interactions, graph theory and Geographic Information Systems for transportation (GIS-T). This book provides a comprehensive and accessible introduction to the field, with a broad overview of its concepts, methods, and areas of application. The accompanying website for this text contains a useful additional material, including digital maps, PowerPoint slides, databases, and links to further reading and websites. The website can be accessed at: http://people.hofstra.edu/geotrans This text is an essential resource for undergraduates studying transport geography, as well as those interest in economic and urban geography, transport planning and engineering.
Review of Maritime Transport 2009
Author: United NationsPublisher:
ISBN: 9789211127713
Category : Political Science
Languages : en
Pages : 0
Book Description
Against the background of a global financial crisis and economic downturn, growth in seaborne trade continued, albeit at a slower rate. Existing forecasts suggest that the outlook for seaborne trade is uncertain and that some challenging times lie ahead for shipping and international seaborne trade. These challenges are further compounded by other developments, including maritime security at sea and the need to address the climate change challenge. The Review of Maritime Transport examines trends in sea-borne trade and analyses the comparative performance of different geographic regions and countries. Every year, the Review of Maritime Transport gives attention to transport developments in a particular region. The focus in 2009 is on developments in Africa since 2006 when UNCTAD last reported on the region.
