The 3rd Edition of this book gives readers a visual representation of all elements of maritime transport which relate to the handling and movement of cargo. This is particularly for the benefit of shore-based personnel who often do not get the opportunity to see first-hand how the cargoes they are working on are handled and moved.

The book covers:

• 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.

Author: Peter Brodie FICS, has authored many well-respected shipping books and dictionaries; he has extensive experience in shipping, marine insurance, export and banking and is highly regarded in the industry
