The vitally important, albeit controversial, subject of ship management is usually treated in a rather summary fashion, often consisting of little more than an organization chart of some steamship company, together with short descriptions of the employees' duties. There are some good reasons for this dearth of definition. The ubiquitous nature of ship operations breeds a climate of continuous change and infinite variations in surrounding circumstances., Thomas Thorburn, in his book Supply and Demand of Water Transport, published at the Stockholm School of Economics, lists ninety-five different factors, all of which influence the determination of water transport freight rates.

Statutory right to withdraw

You have the right to withdraw from this contract within 14 days without giving any reason.
