Review :
"Most people in the public may not be familiar with container terminals, even though they may have encountered them frequently. This book not only provides an overview to our industry but also introduces some new ideas in operational risk management of container ports. I am more than happy to recommend this book to anyone who would like to know more about this industry."— Gerry Yim, Chief Executive Officer, Hutchison Port Holdings Trust "As container shipping has revolutionized global trade, the importance of highly productive container ports cannot be understated. Leveraging his depth of experience at some of the most efficient container terminals in the world, Dr. Su has managed to create an excellent primer for managing the related operational risks. Whether an industry insider or someone simply wanting to better understand the workings of a modern container port, I would highly recommend this book." — Eric S.C. Ip, Group Managing Director, Hutchison Port Holdings
