The Global Institute of Logistics established in New York in 2003 is a Think Tank for the profession and is primarily concerned with intercontinental maritime logistics.

Challenges associated with the traditional approach of managing single transport modes, modal systems as stand-alone operations. The key to overcoming these legacy challenges is for the individual stakeholder groups within the logistics chain to actively engage with each other. The promotion of this agenda is the Institute's work.
