Title: The handbook of logistics contracts
Description: "The third-party logistics industry is a growing field. Relationships between third-party logistics providers and customer firms demand the creation of logistics contracts where the necessary business and legal agreements are stipulated. Until now, the creation and negotiation of these agreements have been based on custom. This is the first practical handbook to support managers in the creation and negotiation of logistics contracts from the legal and economic perspective. The book provides extensive analysis and sets a general framework for the content, structure and best practices of logistics contracts. It also considers the economic relevance and different legal framework of logistics activities and relationships which require, or make it advisable, to have a uniform international standard that regulates the rights and obligations of each party, including transport, warehousing and personnel."--Jacket.
