Logistics &
Shipping
Logistics and Shipping involve managing
the transfer of products from the place of
their origin to the place of their con-
sumption. It includes activities such as
material handling, warehousing, packag-
ing, transportation, shipping security,
inventory management, supply chain
management, procurement, and customs
service. Logistics and shipping is a part of
the supply chain and value chain in most
industries. It is an essential component of
the supply chain and value chain for any
successful business. All manufacturing
companies need logistics and shipping
activities for the distribution of their
products. Malta being an island makes it
ever more reliant on efficient, timely and
affordable shipping and logistics – unfor-
tunately we remain outside the supply of
chain of some companies and websites,
but companies are spending a lot of time,
energy and money to make our island a
permanent link in the worldwide supply
of goods.
