You are CEO of a firm that regularly imports consumer electronic devices from plants in Thailand, Malaysia, Indonesia, and the Philippines. The devices are shipped to you by ocean carrier through the South China Sea and then are sold in the United States and exported to ports in Europe and the Middle East. What kind of information do you need to assess the potential risk to your cargo passing through the dangerous waters of the South China Sea? From what sources will you receive your information? What sources are available in your library? Which are commercially available? If part of your job is to keep abreast of developments on a daily basis, where will you obtain that information? What types of information might be available from freight forwarders, steamship companies, local port authorities, and insurers?
