    Abstract

    These low-air draught and shallow vessels arrived on the scene in the early 1970s. They are based on the low and burdensome barges seen every day on river and canal systems, but unlike these they are genuine seagoing ships also. The book includes chapters on low air draught ships and Rhine navigation; the Albert Canal; the development of low air draught vessels; changes in tonnage; charterers, managers and shipowners; the modern Rhine sea fleet; and German, Dutch, British, Danish, Belgian, Yugoslav, Polish, Finnish, Norwegian and Japanese built modern Rhine sea ships.

    Abstract

    This is a collection of well-tried calculator programmes designed to deal with everyday problems of commercial ship operation. While they have been written specifically for the Hewlett Packard HP-67 calculator, the programmes can easily be adapted to other models of equivalent capacity; and in the accompanying explanation of the principles and methods involved, even the reader with no experience of programming will find new ideas and techniques. The book is divided into sections relating to voyage estimating, speed and fuel consumption, and financial calculations. An appendix deals with iterative calculations.

    Abstract

    This monograph on the ship which can be considered the 'workhorse of the oceans' is designed to provide a brief introduction to the construction and operation of bulk carriers. Bulk carriers themselves cover a wide range of ship types, from the small singledecker working the short sea routes through the simple bulkers that carry the raw products throughout the world's seas, to the sophisticated specialist sef-unloaders and the new breed of giant bulk carriers designed to be the ultimate in scale economy. This small book explains the rationale of bulk carrier operations and examines the application of the ship in relation to the world's freight markets.
