Abstract
The aim of the study was to analyze the scientific views on the definition of liner shipping at various stages of its development. For this, literary sources for more than a hundred years of research on this issue were analyzed. The analysis emphasizes the lack of systemic studies on this issue and the scientific approach to the definition of the concept in question. As a result of the study, the stages of development of liner shipping are presented and the main characteristic features for the concept are given, its boundaries are established. The resulting research also synthesizes the scientific papers in the field of liner shipping, which represents an important supporting tool for future theoretical and applied studies. Taking into account the exceptional role of liner shipping in intermodal delivery systems, the presented analysis is useful for all involved transport modes.
Highlights
Liner shipping service, along with tramp shipping, is one of the shipping services, with its own specific features associated, first of all, with the organization of the work of the vessels on the carriage of goods
In a liner shipping service, they are fixed by a liner bill of lading, the reverse side of which is a substitute for the contract of the carriage of cargo by sea
Liner bills of lading contain interpretations of certain concepts related to liner transportation, but does not offer any clarification regarding the nature of liner shipping service, and does not define the term itself
Summary
Along with tramp shipping, is one of the shipping services, with its own specific features associated, first of all, with the organization of the work of the vessels on the carriage of goods. In a liner shipping service, they are fixed by a liner bill of lading, the reverse side of which is a substitute for the contract of the carriage of cargo by sea. Liner bills of lading contain interpretations of certain concepts related to liner transportation (convenient liner port, liner basis, schedule, etc.), but does not offer any clarification regarding the nature of liner shipping service, and does not define the term itself. This, in turn, leads to terminological misunderstandings, the resolving of which lies primarily in a clear definition of the initial concept – “liner shipping service” and makes the posed problem quite actual. A clear understanding of the definition of “liner shipping service” is impossible without considering its elements and the functional relationship between them in the chronological aspect of liner shipping development
