Gulf Shipper's goal is to give our readers a competitive edge 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 that impacts shippers and carriers in the Gulf region. The coverage is designed to give readers useful insights into trends and opportunities affecting their business.
• Sailing schedules of ships serving ports around the world.

EDITORIAL COVERAGE:

Container, breakbulk and project cargo shipping as well as port developments in the Gulf region are the primary subjects covered. The opportunities and obstacles facing companies seeking to increase international trade and diversify overseas sourcing are the second key area. We also report on logistics, air cargo, inland transportation and technology affecting trade in the Gulf region.

We spotlight key overseas markets, the regulations and pitfalls that can trap unwary traders, and the public and private resources that can assist them.

We analyze the pros and cons of using different shipping routes, strategies and transportation modes.

Special reports focus on such subjects as shipping and trade with countries and regions around the world; individual ports and port ranges affecting the Gulf region; trade routes between the Gulf and key markets; and different modes of shipping, including refrigerated goods and roll-on, roll-off cargo.

Industry experts offer 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. Gulf 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, arrival dates and contact information for the carriers.
