• The containei industry is reaching maturity and, despite problems, the system offers consignors "the most efficient and cost effective package deal for moving general cargo through the seventies." That is the opinion of the authors of Containerisation International Year Book, just published in . its 1972 edition.
The volume has been enlarged in scope this year and a particularly interesting section is devoted to the operation and economics of container transport by sea, rail and road. Chapters are devoted to air cargo, container leasing, documentation and insurance. Designed to provide a guide for traffic managers, freight forwarders and all those whose business brings them into contact with containerization, the Year Book includes a 63-page geographical section listing concontainer services and facilities at ports and terminals throughout the world. There are also lists of container, trailer and equipment makers and a 20-page bibliography of published material on containers, and periodicals in this field.
The Year Book costs £5 net from Containerisation International, 680 Garratt Lane, London, SW18 ONP, and contains 264 pages at llin x 7in. B.C.
