WHATEVER else you might say about shipping, one thing has got to be true: it has become an awful lot more bureaucratic and complicated over the past three or so decades.
The International Maritime Organization (IMO) has come up with 12 proposals to cut the administrative burden on shipping, mainly through much greater use of information technology and electronic transfer of information.
