Some Transportation Bookmarks

Ocean Transportation

• APL
• OOCL
• Sea-Land
• Alianca a Brazilian flag shipping company
• CSAV Sud Americana de Vapores. Includes schedules, but only queriable by origin/destination (not on timeframe as well). In excellent English.
• Canada Steamship Lines
• Cho Yang Line (Hong Kong)
• Martex Shipping and Chartering
• Nedlloyd
• Zim This one was quite slow to read in.

Freight Forwarders

• BDP
• Circle International
• Expeditors This one takes awhile to load as well.
• Fritz
• NCBFAA National Customs Brokers and Forwarders Association
• Robbins Fleisig Forwarding The company and their software offering, FINDS. FINDS features include paperless bookings, bills of lading, and automatic SED filing.

Ports

• Port of Baltimore As nice as the Port of Tacoma page.
• Port of Kobe
• Port of Tacoma
• Port of Yokohama

Railroads

• Association of American Railroads including a weekly intermodal rail traffic report (big graphic). This all was gone, however, when I browsed again 4/24, so the site is obviously in flux!
• Burlington Northern Santa Fe
• CN Railway
• CP Rail System
• CSX
• Conrail
• Norfolk Southern Railroad Had a short peek, worth a second look. Appears to be well-thought-out and organized, but I didn't get far enough in to see if it offered schedules or tracing.
• Union Pacific Railroad Site includes a DAILY NEWS SECTION with a daily rail operations report. Very slick presentation overall.

Other

• Council of Logistics Management
• Electronic Shipping Guide
• Intermodal Association of North America
• MPS software for retrieval of carrier service schedules, and information about transit times point to point; other features include "access to the latest pricing index for your shipments based on the UN Harmonized System for exports or imports"; and "contact participating companies to receive specific quotes for your shipments"
• Maritime Global Net Cool site where I got lots of my information. It's screwy in that it has multiple windows and I still haven't figured out how to resize any of them so that I can get the active one as full-screen.
• Princeton Transportation Resources This one looks really cool! Haven't had the chance to explore it yet... Bullets for pages include Highway, Transit, and Rail System Information, Airports and Airlines, Colleges and Universities (with transportation programs), Private Companies, Transportation-Related Organizations, Conferences and Seminars, NetAddress Book of Transportation Professionals...
• Sea Link (did you know we are one of their Valued Customers?)
• Sea.Net Ltd. An internet provider for the shipping community based in the UK. It has a library, forums, and other information (a pay service)
• Seaports Infopages They publish the 1996 AAPA directory, and also has a page of International Trade bookmarks and a list of "Carriers of the Americas" which does not contain WSL! Also a "Port and Maritime Services" directory which looks pretty huge.
• Transax pretty heavy on the graphics - next time I'll try text only.
• US Customs (from Port of Baltimore page)
