Capstone Project
An Introduction
What are we different than other?
In OOCL, a department director asked trainees
to give a small forecasting report about the
container demand in the global market. Every
one submitted a report next day, except Angela
In Angelas report, she described global
economies, demand and supply changes,
competition in shipping industry, and then, she
gave:
1. factors of container demand
2. a demand forecasting model
What are we short of?
In Bandy Liu Shipping Insurance Co. Ltd., Mr. Ng, the
CEO, asks a group of trainees, is US$1 per container a
good price? Quinnie gives her answer as follows.
It is very cheap. But we need to further look at:
1. The history of cases of the client
2. Details of the ship, ship model
3. Shipping management company
4. Crew number and quality
5. Liability limit
6. Marine conditions
