I am working as an internal auditor at NVOCC company. Considering that I’m a newbie and the industry requires a lot of interrelated documents, this website really helped me a lot to understand more the industry. I don’t have a formal study about the industry and I really owe my learning in this site. Thank you so much Mr. Hariesh!

I have read lots of blogs regarding freight forwarding but yours are the best. Very easy to understand and concise. Upon reading your blogs, I was inspired because of the information and other technicalities that we will be needing in our expansion to be internationally known or to work directly to agents globally. thank you very much for sharing your knowledge to us, specially to me.
It refreshed my knowledge to act properly as a freight forwarder and to think smart in dealing with other agents/partner to be. Godbless you!

Every article of yours is an eye-opener, especially to those alien to the world of shipping and transportation.
Even though I teach now, thanks to your articles my learning process about an area I knew nothing about once upon a time, still continues.

I just want to say thank you for your information, I am new to shipping and all seemed lost in words with no translation. The explanations and breakdowns you give are awesome, I have a better understanding and appreciation for shipping, and I am continuously learning.

I can not thank you enough for all the help I received through this blog.
Being hired last July as Foreign trade agent (no previous experience nor related education) and STILL learning from you, we might say you own 80% of the credit for my success.
Best wishes , it is so comforting knowing there is people so generous around the globe 🙂

Hi Hariesh
I am currently studying towards shipping exams, just initial papers about legal principles and general shipping business. Your blog has helped me to get more explanation of the tricky concepts that text books don’t always explain in plain English.
Keep up the good work!

Opat – Newcomer to the industry :
Hello, I’m so a newbie in this field. I just started my work almost 3 months ago in a trading company. It’s a very challenging part doing all the things I had never heard. My predecessor only taught me the basic thing of my job for a week and I didn’t find this job quite interesting until I read sooo many terms I had not know.
Colleagues surely help me but I need to find things by myself also.
It’s such a blessing found this blog. Clear explanation and the readers are also interesting and actively interact to others.
Thank you.

This Shipping and Freight Resource by Hariesh Manaadiar is a great resource for people new to the shipping and freight industry to learn from case studies and the knowledge of experienced people in the industry.
As a new shipper or just someone looking to get some more information about how things work in shipping and freight, this is a great place to start looking and asking questions.

Freight & Trading Weekly‘s launch 39 years ago coincided with the introduction of containerisation in South Africa.
Since then it has evolved into an information bank for importers, exporters and their service providers, covering a wide range of information that is relevant to anyone conducting international trade from customs issues and market opportunities to transport and logistics news.
The weekly quick-read newspaper is supplemented by a range of special features, published monthly, which focus on areas of interest in the industry. These include Supply Chain Management, Electronic Solutions and Transport into Africa.
Martin Keck – Managing Director – CFR Freight :
This Shipping and Freight Resource is a very useful and user friendly educational website that explains a great deal about how the documentation and operational process of the container shipping and freight industry works. It also talks about pitfalls of not following the proper procedures.
It is particularly useful for newcomers to the industry and also to exporters and importers who might need clarity or assistance on any issues affecting their work. If there are any issues that are not covered in this blog, users can ask questions on the blog.
The blog has a good following and its author Hariesh Manaadiar alongwith other readers of this blog respond to questions posted by people who need help. This is a great way of gaining and sharing knowledge.

Good day Hariesh
Compliments on an exceptional Shipping blog. I thoroughly enjoy it even though I am working ‘out of retirement’. I have introduced your blog to newly recruited personnel in the Shipping Industry and I recommend that your current readers/bloggers encourage their fellow personnel and friends to visit (and learn).
Vilas K Basutkar – Shipping Industry :
I have been working in shipping for almost 37 years of my life but still do not know shipping as its knowledge is like ocean. Lot of valuable data is hidden in this ocean of shipping.I am glad you have created this blog for people like us could share our knowledge with each other and keep this industry exciting all the time.
Greg Campbell – Newcomer to the Shipping industry :
Howzit Hariesh,
Thank you for these blog entries, I can’t tell you what a help they have been thus far. There is still so much to read but you are making my transition to this industry that much smoother.
I have been based in China for 6 years and am finally moving into sourcing, as I am a South African your blog is particularly relevant to me and I will no doubt be using it as a foundation now and a reference in the future.
Thanks again for your efforts in putting together such a well written valuable blog.
Greg
