Super Cargo Ships
The "super cargo ship" is a post-World War II phenomenon necessitated by the world's growing dependence on greater volumes of resources. This colorful book examines the vast dimensions and varied duties of the giant vessels that ply the oceans today, moving payloads like oil, natural gas, automobiles, water, and livestock from continent to continent. Readers are treated to close-up and inside views of the world's largest tankers, container ships, automobile transporters, Great Lakes cargo ships, "super tugs", and more. Also addressed are the advanced technologies used in construction and operation, continuing efforts to make the vessels safer, and the consequences suffered when accidents do occur. Sidebars examine the daily routines of crewmembers.

Cargo Access Equipment for Merchant Ships
As President of International MacGregor I am deeply indebted to the authors of this excellent book for the very considerable amount of work and scholarship it contains. It is the first authoritative work on cargo access equipment to be pubbshed and I am sure that it will be greatly welcomed by the Marine Industries. You will see from the authors' preface that the book was commissioned by the Henri Kummerman Foundation which was established in 1976 to assist and promote internationally research and development in the field of marine transportation and cargo handling. The Foundation has already made a number of grants to universities and to students but this book is its first major contributio...
Tales from the Waves
In this memoir and travelogue from his early working life, Austin Guest tells of his time as a cargo ship's Radio Officer in the 1970s and early 1980s. He was an officer on arrival aged 19, but with much to learn and to prove. Along with the excitement of new places and cultures he encountered tyrannical captains, heavy seas, unreliable equipment, distress calls, excess alcohol, onboard conflicts, chaotic misadventures, lost island paradises and the aftermath of a war zone. He also began to see how his role and the cargo ships themselves would soon disappear from the seas, and subsequently observed how the famous shipping company became fragmented and sold. All this is presented beside some maritime history, the evolution of radio, the skills and knowledge required to make ship to shore communications happen, and how things could go wrong (or right) within the radio room and elsewhere around the ship. Some voyages were punctuated with amazing people and experiences, while others could only be endured. A lively and varied read, peppered with humour, history, science, geography and music.
