The NMU partner Thomas Pawlik published lately the richly illustrated book “Maritime Container Shipping”. He points out how chains of container transport span the globe and explains the structures of container liner. The book shows that, apart from liquid cargo, there are hardly any goods nowadays that are not shipped between the ports of the world on board container vessels. In addition to the important duties of the ship’s crew, readers get to know the workflows at container terminals and seaport hinterland logistics as well as key aspects of shipbuilding, environmental protection and safety in container shipping. 

The unique photographic material in the book comes from internationally renowned photographers as well as numerous archives of shipping companies and supplements the information provided.
