The research is centering on relationship in containerization and the development of multi-modal transportation. The research examines how socioeconomic factors might have justified the concurrent modernization of two industries of containerization and multi-modal transportation. The study gives an account of how the interdependence relationship that subsists between the two industries. International trade law is also used in explaining the problems and the opportunities that might be associated with that interdependence relationship. Most case studies used in this work are based on developments within the shipping industry among companies in the European Union (E.U) and some parts of Asia. The research examines lessons that can be learnt from the relationship in development of containerization in the multi-modal transportation. The above interrelationship cuts across global nature of the developments in the industries while increasing the complexities associated with the allocation liability for loss and risks under international trade. The work also credits the role of interdependence relationships in responding to some of challenges around the transportation industry.

Résumé
In this rich and riveting narrative, a writer's search for the truth behind his family's tragic past in World War II becomes a remarkably original epic—part memoir, part reportage, part mystery, and part scholarly detective work—that brilliantly explores the nature of time and memory, family and history.
The Lost begins as the story of a boy who grew up in a family haunted by the disappearance of six relatives during the Holocaust—an unmentionable subject that gripped his imagination from earliest childhood. Decades later, spurred by the discovery of a cache of desperate letters written to his grandfather in 1939 and tantalized by fragmentary tales of a terrible betrayal, Daniel Mendelsohn sets out to find the remaining eyewitnesses to his relatives' fates. That quest eventually takes him to a dozen countries on four continents, and forces him to confront the wrenching discrepancies between the histories we live and the stories we tell. And it leads him, finally, back to the small Ukrainian town where his family's story began, and where the solution to a decades-old mystery awaits him.
Deftly moving between past and present, interweaving a world-wandering odyssey with childhood memories of a now-lost generation of immigrant Jews and provocative ruminations on biblical texts and Jewish history, The Lost transforms the story of one family into a profound, morally searching meditation on our fragile hold on the past. Deeply personal, grippingly suspenseful, and beautifully written, this literary tour de force illuminates all that is lost, and found, in the passage of time.
