    I found an interesting website about logistic that cover almost the region.

    MISC Berhad.

    MISC Berhad (MISC), a subsidiary of PETRONAS, is the leading international shipping line of Malaysia. The principal business of the Corporation consists of ship-owning, ship management and other related logistics and maritime transportation services.

    Since its establishment in 1968, MISC has developed into a sound, successful Corporation that continues to grow on the solid foundation upon which it was built. The public listing of its shares in 1987 and its current standing as one of the top five companies in terms of market capitalisation June 2007 on the Main Board of Bursa Malaysia Securities Berhad as at further demonstrates its sound standing and viability. As a member of the PETRONAS Group, MISC is expected to benefit and further strengthen business synergies and economies of scale from related operations of its business.

    Through the provision of reliable, efficient and competitive services, MISC has indeed become a truly international player. Its modern, well-diversified and relatively young fleet of more than 100 vessels with a combined tonnage of more than 8 million deadweight tonnes and land-based facilities managed by experienced personnel enable MISC to meet the various demands of its customers.

    Through its wide network of shipping operations, all linked by the latest information and logistics systems support, MISC offers wide geographical coverage. This network also extends to many inland destinations and landlocked markets. Endowed with such diverse operations, MISC offers total logistics solution to its customers.

  11. Hi...this is some meaning of logistics...

    Logistics is the management of the flow of goods, information and other resources, including energy and people, between the point of origin and the point of consumption in order to meet the requirements of consumers (frequently, and originally, military organizations). Logistics involve the integration of information, transportation, inventory, warehousing, material-handling, and packaging. Logistics is a channel of the supply chain which adds the value of time and place utility.

    If you want to know, the term "logistics" originates from the ancient Greek "λόγος" ("logos"—"ratio, word, calculation, reason, speech, oration").

    Logistics is considered to have originated in the military's need to supply themselves with arms, ammunition and rations as they moved from their base to a forward position. In ancient Greek, Roman and Byzantine empires, there were military officers with the title ‘Logistikas’ who were responsible for financial and supply distribution matters.

    Meanwhile, The Oxford English dictionary defines logistics as: “The branch of military science having to do with procuring, maintaining and transporting material, personnel and facilities.”Another dictionary definition is: "The time related positioning of resources." As such, logistics is commonly seen as a branch of engineering which creates "people systems" rather than "machine systems"....

    Type of logistics:
    • Military logistics
    • Logistics Management Software
    • Business logistics
    • Production logistics
