Kuwait university plans logistics publication
by ArabianBusiness.com staff writer on Monday, 03 September 2007
The Gulf University for Science and Technology (GUST) has launched an online survey to help research a forthcoming publication on Middle East logistics.
The Kuwait-based university has already received a positive response for the survey and expects a number of regional logisticians will continue to provide their input in the coming months.
"The book will cover the evolution of transportation in countries such as Kuwait, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Bahrain, UAE and Oman," said Professor Philbert Suresh, founder of GUST's Logistics Forum (GLF).
"We have arranged a number of regional and international trips to help compile case studies for the publication. For example, we'll be looking at Kuwait's role in the Middle Eastern logistics industry, but further afield too, we will be visiting the Airbus headquarters in France, as well as the Ports of Hamburg and Rotterdam," he added.
The book, which is scheduled for publishing in late 2008 or early 2009, will be available in universities and educational institutes, in addition to bookstores throughout the region.
"We're hoping this publication will inspire young minds for 21st century challenges," commented Suresh. "As the logistics industry continues to grow, its important to support these developments with an efficient educational system. That's why we have decided to produce an easily readable textbook, which helps create a better understanding about Middle East logistics, not only in this region, but throughout the world."
