Calculating the Unit Voyage Cost in Maritime Transportation: An Implementation Study

https://eares.org/siteadmin/upload/EPH716021.pdf

 

Abstract— Maritime transport includes intensive political risks, and it is classified according to factors such as speed, time, distance, cost, stability and type of cargo. Considering cargo types, maritime transport is divided into two sections which are liner shipping and tramp shipping. The cost concept in the tramp shipping – the type of shipping which mainly captures the world, especially in circumstances where competition is intense- is quite effective for ship management. The reason for the affordability of tramp shipping costs is that tramp vessels sail to the place of the cargo and the last cargo sets the next destination. Because the vessels in Tramp Shipping are sailing to the place of the cargo and the last cargo defines the next

Tras el anuncio de ayudas públicas multimillonarias por parte de muchos países para combatir la crisis económica y social del coronavirus mucha gente se está haciendo la misma pregunta: ¿de dónde van a sacar el dinero? ¿Quién va a pagar todas esas ayudas? El mismo hecho de que nos hagamos estas preguntas y no otras es una prueba más del dominio que tienen los planteamientos económicos ortodoxos en nuestra cabeza, una prueba más de que pensamos como el stablishment quiere que pensemos. Me explico: ¿por qué nunca nos

Financial markets are hoping the US Federal Reserve will join the growing queue of central banks that are pledging to rescue markets after the precipitous fall not seen since the Black Monday plunge 33 years ago. Expectations of fiscal support measures are rising in addition to the deep rate cuts by various central banks already baked in bond prices.

China’s central bank on Friday cut reserve requirement ratio (RRR) by 50-100 basis points (bps) unleashing a wall of liquidity. It will release 550 billion yuan into the banking system. This liquidity adds to the 800 billion

Travel bans. Sporting events cancelled. Mass gatherings prohibited. Stock markets in freefall. Deserted shopping malls. Get ready for the Covid-19 global recession.

The United Nations has warned that the global economy faces “a US$2 trillion hit” in a “doomsday scenario” after the World Health Organization declared a worldwide pandemic.

As the Covid-19 disease spreads across the planet and the battle switches from China to Europe and the United States, concerns are growing that global growth will be wiped out as consumer demand evaporates.

“From an economic perspective, the key issue is not just the number of cases of Covid-19, but the level of disruption to economies from containment measures,” Ben
