$125.00 T5338 |
| An
Introduction to Bunkering Operations is an invaluable
introduction to bunkering operations, which was launched during Maritime
Week Americans in May 2010. This book is the third in a series of
information books by Nigel Draffin, and follows An Introduction to
Bunkering (2008) and An Introduction to Fuel Analysis (2009),
both of which have now become staple reading materials for newcomers and
more established players alike.
An Introduction to Bunkering Operations is crammed with
photographs, charts and diagrams intended to help the reader visualize
important aspects of bunker operations, from flanges, hoses and
samplers, to barges, pipelines, road tankers and storage tanks. It
covers everything that needs to be understood and remembered, from
plugging scuppers to fastening bolts on a bunker flange, and covers
storage, measuring, delivery, sampling and handling of bunker fuels and
debunkering.
No on involved in bunkering operations
-on land or at sea - should be without a copy. |

Boats - How Container Ships Changed the World.
Brian J. Cudahy
$29.95 T16775 HC, 352 pp.
“Today containers are
everywhere – piled high on enormous containerships, stacked in endless
rows in sprawling containerports, hauled across the country on mile-long
trains, and towed along interstate highways as truck-trailers. These
boxes have revolutionized freight transportation worldwide and created a
new kind of global economy. Bur who first developed this innovation and
where was it first used? Brian Cudahy, a masterful ship historian,
answers these questions in this engaging and carefully researched book…
A great subject and a great read. Box Boats describes one of the
transforming industrial revolutions of our age.”
