Hardcover. Condition: Very Good. Dust Jacket Condition: No DJ as issued. 96 pages. In 2007, the NZ Shipping Federation celebrated 100 years representing NZ shipping companies. To mark the milestone a nd to capture that history, we commissioned well known historian, Gavin Mclean, to write a book on the Federation's history. His b ook, A Voice for Shipping is now available. It is hard copy, and includes many pictures, some colour and some black and white. The New Zealand Shipowners' Federation was formed at Auckland in 190 6 to succeed a short-lived local association. Although initially ignored by the country's largest shipowner, the Union Steam Ship Co, the Federation played an important part in settling the 1917 and the 1922 seamen's strikes. From then until the 1990s much of its time was occupied with industrial negotiations. As land (and later air) transport ate into the coastal general cargo trade, ra te setting became another core business item. The third strand of the business was lobbying government. That mix changed in the de cade between 1984 and 1994 when governments radically reformed th e economy. The shipping industry had already gone through a techn ological revolution with containers, roll-on, roll-off (RO-RO) an d bulk carriers drastically trimming the New Zealand fleet. The p olitical revolution went further, reshaping the ownership of the ports and shipping industries and work practices. In remarkably s hort order, changes previously thought politically impossible, we re enacted. In the twenty-first century the New Zealand Shipping Federation is the advocate for domestic shipping playing its full part in addressing the country's transport and environmental con cerns - in short, it is A VOICE FOR SHIPPING.
