| Abstract | "This gives students and cadets a detailed introduction to the classifications and main categories of merchant vessels. It introduces the concept of ship classification - by usage (feeder, general, container, tankers, dry bulk, multi-purpose, reefers, and roll on roll off), by cargo type (dry cargo, wet cargo, specialised), and by size (Handy, Seawaymax, Panamax, NeoPanamax, VLCC). It explains the ports and channels where and why each type is permitted to enter, showing the type of cargoes carried, and specific safety or risk factors, and their main characteristics, along with relevant case studies"-- Provided by publisher. |
