Shipping is concerned with the delivery of goods and services required by shippers. The opportunities and challenges faced by shipping companies are affected by the business environment in which they operate. As the business environment changes with technological, economic and political developments, shipping lines face the challenges of developing strategies that give them an advantage in better serving their customers.

Almost three decades, managers have been learning how firms should adapt to changing business environments. Firm must be flexible and responsive to respond rapidly to competitive and market changes. They must benchmark continuously the best prac-tices and nuture a few new competencies to stay ahead of their competitors (Porter,1996).
