When a customer purchases a can of soda at a convenience store, his purchase represents the end of a supply chain's delivery of an item and the beginning of information regarding his purchase flowing in the opposite direction.
The supply chain stages include customers, retailers, wholesalers/distributors, manufacturers, and component/raw material suppliers. A customer's purchase moves product towards the customer and dollars and information towards the retailer.
The retailer places an order from the wholesaler/distributor to replenish stock, thereby moving information back up the supply chain while moving product down the supply chain. As the order is filled, the retailer will move dollars back up the supply chain.
The wholesaler/distributor transmits information and dollars to the manufacturer who produces product and ships it down the supply chain to the wholesaler.
Finally (or initially, depending on your perspective) the manufacturer moves orders (information) and dollars towards suppliers in exchange for material flow into their production processes.

How much fuel does a container ship burn?
This is usually measured in pounds of fuel per horsepower per hour. Roughly speaking, 0.25 lbs/hp/hr is considered to be pretty good, and 100,000 hp is a low-side estimate of an average container ship's horsepower. This then works out to 25,000 pounds of marine diesel fuel per hour. Marine diesel weighs about 7lbs/gallon, which gets us about 3600 gallons per burned per hour. A common cruise speed is 25 knots or 28.75mph. To make the math easier, let's call it 30mph. What this means is that for a container ship to travel 30 miles, it'll burn through 3600 gallons, which is the same as burning 120 gallons to go one mile . There are 5280 feet in a mile, so if 120 gallons is good for 5280 feet, then one gallon is burned every 44 feet!!
Current_price_for_heavy_fuel_oilIndicates that the October 2008 price was 140 euro/ton (US$188/ton) for heavy fuel oil.
Answer 2Container ships don't burn quality marine diesel, they burn bunker fuel which is just a step above asphalt. It is so thick, it must be heated to extreme temperatures just to get it to flow into the engines. It is very cheap, literally pennies per gallon but very dirty, usually vented or exhausted under the ship so we don't see the pollutants destroying our environment.Answer 3
Bunker fuel no longer is pennies per gallon. As of this date, 10/23/09, bunker fuel (380 Centistoke) is about $1.66 per gallon in Los Angeles. A 7000 TEU(twenty foot equivalent units) container ship will burn about 217 tons/day. This is about $99,000 per day in fuel costs. If oil goes to $150/bbl again, You can do the math.
The Emma Maersk's 109,000 hp engine burns 1,660 gallons of HFO per hour.
If ship FOB who pays the freight?
FOB means freight on board. What this means is that the person supplying the goods will deliver and load the goods onto a vessel of your choice. You will be expected to arrange the actual shipping of the goods and cover all the costs. For example if I was buying goods in China to send to Europe, I would arrange a boat to ship my products overseas, when this is all booked, i would tell my supplier in China the name of the ship and when it will be at the port of origin (where the goods are coming from).They will then have to arrange the goods to be loaded onto the ship within the timeframe specified, after that, it would be my responsibility.

What are the essential components of a typical supply chain management process?
Supply chains and supply networks both describe the flow and movement of materials & information, by linking organisations together to serve the end-customer.
'Network' describes a more complex structure, where organisations can be cross-linked and there are two-way exchanges between them; 'chain' describes a simpler, sequential set of links (Harland et al., 2001)
A supply chain network shows the links between organisations and how information and materials flow between these links.
