Shipping A-Z was the focus of a seminar that was well attended. Leaders in the island's shipping industry provided important information for small business owners to know about shipping freight from the U.S. mainland.

DGX, Inx, general manager Page Butler was among a handful of presenters, and said, "Basically they are looking for information on how transportation works with the shipping with ocean freight, air freight and we wanted to help them understand what is required for shipping, some of the terminologies we utilize, some helpful advice on how to work with suppliers and vendors on how to move things to Guam that help benefit them price wise and what they are up against with the military buildup."
