Global Shippers Network (GSN), a redesigned international freight transportation web site, is operating, according to the National Industrial Transportation League (NITL), which adminsters the site. Its address is www.globalshippersnetwork.net
.
The idea to create the network came about from an agreement among shipper organizations attending the 1999 Tripartite Shippers Meeting. This group includes the Canadian Shippers' Council, European Shippers' Council, Korean Shippers' Council, Singapore National Shippers' Council, Thai National Shippers' Council, Japan Shippers' Council, Hong Kong Shippers' Council, Federation of ASEAN Shippers' Council, and the NITL. Designed for all users of transportation services, GSN is a means for shippers and other industry sectors worldwide to work together to ensure the free flow of commerce.
