The first volume in a new Springer Series on Shipping and Transport Logistics, Oil Transport Management provides a full historical account of the evolution of the oil transport industry since the 1800's. In this comprehensive guide, the authors investigate the industry and describe the shipping market and its structure, as well as forecasting, location plan and the transportation chain. They dedicate a separate chapter to each topic to cover various concepts, including: an introduction to the tanker shipping market, including how the freight, new vessel building, second hand and demolition markets influence one another, the economic structure and organization of the tanker industry in both the past and present, and forecasting the need for oil-based sea transportation. Further chapters present case studies and simulations to illustrate the importance of factory location decisions and the need for oil infrastructure investments. Chapter One also includes a regression equation to predict the fleet size in tanker shipping. Oil Transport Management is a key reference, which can be practically applied to wider global research and practices. Ideal for both industry practitioners, and researchers and students of shipping studies, Oil Transport Management provides a concise yet comprehensive coverage of the oil transport industry's history and a guide for its future development.

Changing vessel technology presents a major challenge to shipping management. Vessels cost tens of millions of dollars and have a long physical life. A change in vessel design for a company may also require a change in port facilities, information systems, and marketing techniques. This book, first published in 1987, deals with many of the vessel technology issues that shipping companies have confronted in recent years. Specific technologies are described along with their economic, regulatory and political aspects. Each chapter is in the form of a case study based on an actual management situation where management had to deal with an aspect of changing vessel technology.

It didn't take long after the nation's first oil well was drilled in 1859 in Western Pennsylvania before petroleum became the economic lifeblood of the country. This book explores how a small, family owned barge and transport company ended up supplying petroleum-derived energy to at least 25 percent of the American population. Interstate Oil Transport's phenomenal growth was based on the confluence of five factors: the people who organized and worked for Interstate; Interstate's ability to adapt rapidly to changes in the market for oil; a new fleet of vessels that included a special and powerful oceangoing class of tugs and large oil-carrying barges; expert handling of petroleum and petroleum products; and a regulatory environment that placed few restrictions on the tug and barge business, coupled with monetary policies that provided incentives for growth and investment. Here is the story of the link between the giant oil companies and the ultimate consumers. It reveals how Interstate's owners, management, and workers made Interstate at its heyday the largest waterborne petroleum transportation company in the United States.
