    Abstract

    The purpose of this book is to provide guidance: it is a 'how to do it' book for marine surveyors and consultants and a 'what to expect' book for those who employ them. The use of the sea is growing. Transport, leisure and resource recovery all compete for scarce marine skills. This book describes those skills and how to harness them. Here you will find practical advice on running a survey and consultancy business. There is a review of employment opportunities and a detailed guide to all types of survey techniques.

  • Bulk Carriers

    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.

    This book is written for an informed maritime readership, but one which may not have a detailed knowledge of financial practices employed in the complex world of ship finance. This is a practical handbook in which the procedures and terminology are fully covered. Both new and secondhand craft are covered, while the book details the financial appraisal of new projects, the use of foreign currency, taxation and leasing and other subjects vital when the purchase of ships or rigs are considered.

    Abstract

    Second edition This new edition of Shipping Finance concentrates on fundamental and applied topics, such as project finance for new construction; bank loans for shipping acquisitions; investment appraisal techniques; foreign exchange; and taxation. These issues remain important irrespective of structural changes in the shipping finance world; and are also of interest to the shipowner, banker, shipbuilder, shipbroker and, certainly, the maritime-related studies of the university student.
