Ocean freight, shipbuilding costs and charter rates: recent trends

This issue of the Bulletin provides a brief overview of the maritime transport industry in Latin America and the Caribbean, with a focus on the behaviour of freight rates and the costs associated with chartering and shipbuilding, all of which increased sharply in 2003. Three separate markets will be analysed: 1) the containerized general cargo market; 2) the dry bulk cargo market and 3) the liquid bulk (crude oil and oil products) market. This study has incorporated contributions made by professional experts in the field and institutions associated with ports and maritime transport in the region, received subsequent to the study prepared and disseminated in January 2004.

Women in development bibliography- 4th edition.

The Economic Commission for Latin America and the Caribbean (ECLAC) Subregional Headquarters for the Caribbean presents its fourth edition of the Women in Development Bibliography. The online bibliography provides references on women, gender and development for Caribbean and non-Caribbean publications, and documents that are less widely disseminated, such as research and conference papers and technical reports. The bibliography aims to be a reference guide to help stakeholders and international actors involved in gender issues on the literature available and current research themes from Caribbean and non Caribbean publications.
