Visual Maritime Cargo Handling Reference Guide

If you're intrigued by the intricacies of maritime transport and keen to understand the physical aspects of cargo handling, this book will be your comprehensive visual guide. Beyond supplying shore-based personnel with a deeper insight into their industry, it's a tool that could greatly enhance the knowledge of anyone interested in the movement of goods across the seas. Its detailed illustrations and terminology will bridge the gap between theory and the tangible world of shipping.

Note: While we do our best to ensure the accuracy of cover images, ISBNs may at times be reused for different editions of the same title which may hence appear as a different cover.

The book • Ship types and the parts of ships relating to the handling and stowage of cargo • The cargoes themselves (including many bulk cargoes and heavy lifts) • Dedicated terminals and their equipment and accessories • Cranes • Container types • Port equipment, such as forklift trucks and accessories • Other handling equipment. There are about 800 terms and definitions, including over 200 new or expanded terms since the second edition.
