DESIGN AND IMPLEMENTATION OF A COMPUTERIZED MANAGEMENT SYSTEM FOR CARGO TRANSPORTATION
ABSTRACT
This project was out of the necessity to address the inherent problems encountered by members of staff of super maritime shipping Agency and their customers.
The manual process involved in the management of cargo were critical examined and the flows noted. The software so designed offers to a great extent, the solutions to these problems.

CHAPTER ONE
Introduction
1.1 Statement Of The Problem
The management of Cargo in Nigeria has over the years attracted poor patronage as a result of errors inherent in the system. It is no longer a new thing that loss of customers’ goods is now the order of the day, the reasons are not far-fetched.
