Abstract
The pattern of seaborne trade and shipping is determined by a multitude of factors, economic, geographic and political. In this chapter we have selected some factors of general importance as well as some factors of specific importance for the purpose of this book. The chapter starts by an aggregate picture, in which the liner shipping sector will gradually be identified from different points of view.
