Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. Delving into the complexities of ocean rates and terminal charges, this book presents a comprehensive analysis conducted by the United States Shipping Board during the latter half of World War I. The investigation was born out of the need to establish a policy of rate regulation both during the war and beyond. The author examines the economic and practical considerations that shape rate-making decisions, drawing on data from freight rates, charter rates, and terminal charges collected from carriers at the time. The book also explores the tension between public and private interests in the shipping industry, as the US government sought to balance its goals of supporting the war effort, fostering the growth of the American merchant marine, and maintaining fair competition. Through its detailed analysis, this book provides valuable insights into the complexities of ocean transportation economics and the challenges of regulating an industry vital to global trade.
