Shipping Digest’s goal is to help our readers by providing them with valuable information that will help them do their jobs better. We do this through a twofold approach:

• Editorial coverage of international trade and transportation designed to give readers, particularly exporters, useful insights into services, trends and opportunities that will increase their business.
• Sailing schedules of ships serving ports around the world.

EDITORIAL COVERAGE:

Our primary mission is to help companies take advantage of the opportunities in global markets by spotlighting public and private resources that can assist them, key foreign markets, and the regulations and pitfalls that can trap unwary traders. Examples include the services offered by the U.S. Department of Commerce, special reports on doing business with China and other countries, and U.S. export-control regulations.

Container shipping and port developments are other key subject areas. We analyze the pros and cons of using different shipping routes, strategies and transportation modes. Special reports examine individual ports and port ranges; trade routes; and shipping different types of cargo, such as refrigerated goods and roll-on, roll-off cargo.

We also report on logistics and air cargo.

We keep readers up to date with the latest news developments affecting trade and transportation.

Industry experts offer analysis and nuts-and-bolts advice in guest columns.

SAILING SCHEDULES:

Our Sailing Schedules provide a comprehensive listing of the sailings by ocean carriers from U.S. and Canadian East Coast ports to hundreds of destinations worldwide.

The schedules provide essential information required by shippers responsible for booking cargo, including the ocean carriers serving their overseas market, ports of departure, departure dates, overseas ports of call and contact information for the carriers.
